This WWE Call-Up Being Discussed For SmackDown Faction
Former NXT superstar has been off TV for months. Could he debut by joining a stable?
The recently formed group of Bobby Lashley and the Street Profits has been gaining steam on WWE SmackDown in recent weeks, but the burgeoning stable might not be finished adding members to the fold.
Lashley was seen in backstage vignettes during the summer meeting with various superstars and discussing the future. Among them were Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford, and Carmelo Hayes and Trick Williams. The All Mighty and the Profits have since formalized their relationship, with Ford and Dawkins changing their appearance and attitude in recent weeks.
However, Fightful Select reports that at least one other superstar has been discussed as possibly joining the faction: Odyssey Jones. The site indicates that Jones' name was brought up recently in conversations about potentially joining Lashley's stable.
Jones is a bit of a curiosity. He was called up to Raw this spring as part of the WWE Draft but has never fully appeared on the brand, likely another casualty of creative not having anything for him (despite specifically choosing to bring him to the main roster). In fact, Odyssey didn't wrestle at all for the company post-Draft until later this summer in SmackDown dark matches
Most recently, the powerhoues competed at Superstar Spectacle in India, losing to Bron Breakker.

Lashley and the Street Profits have been embroiled in a feud with the LWO, with the trio losing a six-man tag match at Fastlane Saturday against Rey Mysterio, Santos Escobar and surprise teammate Carlito.
