6. Faces Can Be Devious

WWE seemingly forgets how to properly book babyfaces regularly, other than to make them gullible idiots.

So it was refreshing to see the Street Profits use a little “two can play this game” method Monday night. The duo came out during a match pitting Humberto Carrillo against Karl Anderson, with the rest of The OC ringside. As the match broke down, AJ Styles distracted the ref and Luke Gallows neck-snapped Humberto on the ropes. Anderson grabbed a small package…

…And Montez Ford immediately rolled the package over so Carrillo was covering Anderson for the three count.

Turnabout is fair play, and let’s give it up to the Street Profits for getting retribution rather than just standing there impotently getting outplayed. People want to cheer heroes who are winners, not virtuous losers.
