The Street Profits love to poke fun and goof around with their backstage interviews, but when you’ve got a target on your backs, that’s probably not the best thing to do constantly.

So when Angelo Dawkins & Montez Ford started cracking jokes about Vikings in response to a question about the Viking Raiders, it felt like the normal run-through for the duo. But Ford’s real-life wife Bianca Belair was there, and she snapped them back.

Belair noted that the Raiders have had the Profits’ number every time they’ve squared off, and that Ford & Dawkins needed to get serious if they were going to beat them and successfully defend their Raw Tag Team Championship.

It was the kind of reality check that a fun-loving tandem needs, and it added an extra dynamic to the group. If that sort of thing carries over, it could be one of those things where a valet/manager actually adds something to the act, in this case by helping them focus and get serious when they need to.
