Montez Ford of the Street Profits wants to take on The Rock in a match at WrestleMania. Speaking on a recent appearance on the Bubba Show, Montez Ford named The Rock as his dream opponent when asked about his singles career.
He said, “The Rock. It was in 2016, it was against Biff Busick and it was in, I think, Crystal Lake, Florida. It was the very first singles match I’d ever had, it was at a live event and I just remembered going like ‘wow, this is crazy! This is different!’ Watching it and being a part of it and actually being in the ring is two different worlds. It was just a learning experience for me, like especially not just doing singles but evolving and doing tag team. But I felt like when I did that match, it just elevated me even more, like I was working on a new level. But yeah, that was my very first singles match, man. There was probably maybe 130 people there.”

Elsewhere, after assaulting RK-Bro and Street Profits last week, Gable and Otis’ Alpha Academy have been officially added to the Raw Tag Team Championship match at WrestleMania 38. The duo have swiftly established themselves as one of Raw’s most popular acts, with Gable’s antics carrying many segments and both the men’s wrestling ability giving them in-ring credibility.
RK-Bro was challenged by the Street Profits last week after regaining the WWE Raw tag team titles. The Street Profits beat Randy Orton and Riddle before reclaiming the belts. Last week’s onslaught by Gable & Otis was reportedly enough to have them included in the contest, despite the fact that their status as previous champions should have been more of a deciding factor.
If this bout is anything like the Raw tag match from a few weeks ago, it has the potential to steal the show: Gable’s in-ring prowess has lately been on show, Montez Ford is sure to pull off some outrageous manoeuvres that no human should be capable of, and Orton has somehow become WWE’s hottest hot tag guy in consecutive weeks. You’ve got something here if you combine those elements.
