10 Most Exciting Young Prodigies In WWE & AEW Right Now
1. Montez Ford
With all due respect to Angelo Dawkins, who is a great role-player as one half of the Street Profits, Montez Ford is destined for bigger things than the RAW tag division will allow. The 30-year-old leaks star power from every pore. This is a great boon to a tag scene lacking in such qualities, though Vince McMahon's longstanding disdain for the format means Ford may have already hit his glass ceiling - something that must be addressed within the next few years.
WWE's attempts at showcasing Ford's weirdo personality within these restraints were the weekly off-site segments with The Viking Raiders. While fun, these tanked quarter-hour ratings. Wacky comedy isn't the answer.
Ford is an absurdly infectious and fun personality with charisma for days. He has always been a great raw athlete and is now refining his skillset to compliment this, meaning he'll soon tick every box required for elevation. This will likely have to come alone: we all love the Street Profits, though history tells us hell will freeze over before Vince puts tag teams on the marquee again.
