10 Bold Predictions For WWE In The Next 12 Months
8. Montez Ford: Main Event Player
One of the unwritten rules in wrestling seems always to be that if there is a tag team, one is going to be the Shawn Michaels and one is going to be the Marty Jannetty.
For months, years even, we’ve been subtly told that Montez Ford is the Shawn and Angelo Dawkins the Marty. Ford is leaner, quicker, more agile and spades above Dawkins in the charisma department, and he is the ideal homegrown WWE talent. If you question this, why do you think Ford always performs the high spots and does the majority of the talking for the pair? It’s because this Street Profit has been reserved for much bigger things beyond the tag team scene.
While the split might not come in the form of a full heel turn, the split is coming and coming soon. That much is evident with the influx of singles matches the star has been receiving, most notably a barnstormer with Seth Rollins on Raw.
2023 could genuinely end up being the year of Montez Ford if the man is afforded the opportunity of becoming a main event player. At the end of the day, it is no longer difficult to picture Ford across the ring from a Roman Reigns or Drew McIntyre-type figure, main eventing a Premium Live Event.
