2. The Street Profits Need A Refresh

Oh, and The Street Profits are crying out for change.

Their act is staler than week old bread, and the babyface fire they once showed has had cold water showered on it by company creative. Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins don't necessarily need to break up as a team, but they do need to try something different before fans get tired of cheering just because they know they're supposed to.

Honestly, what is their role on the roster right now? Elevating young teams like Pretty Deadly is fine and all, but it's a limited spot with no real upside for Montez and Dawks. Their "we want the smoke" banter is also long-past tired. Change this now, please - it's boring.

A heel turn would instantly refresh things, so there's no need to hang around here. It certainly doesn't sit well that most recent Profits' appearances on TV seem more like phoned-in house show performances. Even they must be bored of this.
