The Street Profits have had a strange debut year.

The former NXT Tag Team Champions debuted on Raw while they were still holding their black-and-gold brand titles, serving as hype men for the show. They would chat up various matches, add a little humor and occasionally interact with superstars and legends.

After months of being a backstage act and building up goodwill with fans, the Street Profits entered the ring and defeated The OC. They’ve only had a handful of televised matches, losing a Raw Tag Team Championship match against the Viking Raiders, but they’ve managed to be a team that fans are somewhat invested in because of all their screentime (go figure).

As a result, you have to rate the Profits’ debut year a success, despite their limited in-ring exposure. Here’s hoping more good things are in store for them in 2020.
