Look away, Angelo Dawkins.

The Street Profits have done everything they can as a full-time tag-team in WWE. Come next year, Montez Ford will probably be ready to try on more singles stuff than doubles, and that might leave Dawkins stranded. "Might", because he's talented in his own right and could be a surprise hit by himself too.

Who knows?! It's not exactly nailed on that Ford will be the "Shawn Michaels" and Angelo the "Marty Jannetty" of their pairing - that's pretty insulting to Dawkins, especially when he also deserves a chance. Montez has shown more signs of breaking out in 2022 though, that's undeniable.

Don't be shocked if The Profits go their separate ways during the first half of 2023. Ford will likely be aligned with Bianca Belair on-screen too. Meanwhile, Dawkins will try his own thing on another show (or even form another tag-team if his singles run flops).

Who else on WWE's roster do you think will have a breakout year in 2023? For more wrestling, check out 3 Ups & 6 Downs From AEW Rampage (Dec 2) and 10 New Directions After WWE Survivor Series 2022: WarGames!
