Damn, both Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins are killing this sharp-suited look. The reborn pair cut a solid in-ring speech alongside new stablemate Bobby Lashley, and revealed their intentions to dominate the SmackDown scene ASAP. That wasn't the only positive takeaway from their appearance.

The Profits stared down emerging tag champs Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn, but politely opened the gates so they could head to the ring. It was subtle, but there was a passive aggressive feel to the trio that Sami definitely noticed. That'll be something to keep an eye on soon.

Ford and Dawkins getting vicious when challenging KO and Zayn for the Undisputed Tag straps could be gold, and this was a good start. It was simple-but-effective booking that linked neatly between segments and made the most of Lashley's latest gathering.

Good times lie ahead.
