5 Breakout Superstars in WWE this year (2020)

#2 The Street Profits (WWE RAW and SmackDown)

The Street Profits have been brilliant this year

For a long time after their arrival on the WWE main roster, The Street Profits were entrusted with the responsibility of hosting backstage segments. The fans were already aware of their caliber, and soon they won a shot at the RAW Tag Team Championships. After failing in their first couple of attempts, The Street Profits managed to win the tag team gold in a match against Seth Rollins and Murphy – thanks to Kevin Owens' interference.

Following that, there was no looking back for this charismatic team. The Street Profits quickly emerged as the most dominant tag team on the RAW roster and kept defending their titles against former champions before moving to WWE SmackDown. They even ended up defeating The New Day at Survivor Series in a brilliant match that earned them the respect of the industry veterans.

The best part about The Street Profits is that both Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford stand out as individual performers with their unique quirks despite being a team. They are good on the mic and better inside the ring. It would be fair to say that their run as the dominant tag team champions will continue for the foreseeable future – something that they earned with their engaging performances week after week.
