William Regal's gurning mug tells the story of an inefficiently-used segment for relative newbies The Street Profits, with neither Angelo Dawkins nor Montez Ford doing a great deal to chew the (admittedly rather washed out) scenery as the Brit booked them against The Authors Of Pain on next week's show.
Based on previous introductions on the brand, Dawkins and Ford will be expected to over-perform in defeat in the match against the former Tag Team Champions, particularly as Akam and Rezar look dead certs for a main roster call-up in 2018.
The established talents are ordinarily unselfish in helping out those underneath them at the Performance Center, but The Profits don't yet look ready to be the team to beat the mostly indestructible pair. Especially with a shot against The Undisputed Era at TakeOver: Philadelphia awaiting the winners.
