5 Ups & 3 Downs From WWE SmackDown (Sept 8)

Bobby Lashley The Street Profits Judgment Day

Ooft! Now this is tasty.

Bobby Lashley and The Street Profits don't quite have a name yet (are they Hurt Business, Street Business or something else? Who knows?!), but it's cool they got to confront Judgment Day on Friday's show. Lashley warned the gold-laden Raw incomers that they're not first in line to replace The Bloodline.

The segment didn't go overboard and lead to blows. It was simple, but planted some seeds for later on if the writers need them. Seeing Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins challenge Damian Priest and Finn Bálor for the Undisputed Tag straps could be a neat heel vs. heel showcase on an upcoming 'B' PLE.

If nothing else, it's awesome that things are finally moving along for Lashley, Ford and Dawkins. The Profits are still rocking the new suited and booted look, and the fact they were programmed opposite JD here is very promising. Creative has faith, so us fans should stick with it.
