LA Knight has been reigning supreme as the United States Champion on SmackDown after a successful title defense at the Crown Jewel 2024 Premium Live Event. Now that the Saudi Arabia spectacle is in the rear-view mirror, The Megastar demands a fresh feud on the roster. A top WWE star could turn heel and challenge Knight for the United States Championship amid his real-life frustrations with the company.
The name in question is Montez Ford. The 34-year-old star has been wrapped in controversy lately after his recent comments in regard to WWE. During an interview, Ford expressed frustration over his recent creative booking in the company. He believed that WWE did not have any plans for the Street Profits and that the tag team had reached a state of stagnation.
Moreover, Montez teased a split with Angelo Dawkins, indicating a possible heel turn. Frustrated with recent bookings, Ford could unleash a merciless attack on the reigning United States Champion tonight on SmackDown, officially turning heel in the process. Following a potential attack on LA Knight, Ford could claim a shot at the coveted title, stating that he has been long awaiting in the queue for his moment.

Triple H to incorporate Montez Ford's real-life issues in a WWE storyline on SmackDown?
Ever since Triple H took over WWE's creative regime, he has tried to blur the lines between reality and fiction in the storylines and feuds. There have been several instances when The Game turned social media rifts or real-life rivalries into on-screen storylines, adding more depth to it.
In light of the ongoing situation with Montez Ford, there is a possibility that WWE could incorporate his real-life frustration into a storyline on SmackDown. The company could showcase a segment where Ford could be seen whining and complaining about how things have been going within the Street Profits.
With the 34-year-old star in the spotlight due to his controversial comments, Triple H could very well capitalize on that. The Stamford-based company could make good use of this momentum to push Montez Ford or the Street Profits, giving him a fresh direction on SmackDown.
It will be interesting to see whether WWE does the aforementioned thing in the coming weeks and what the Stamford-based promotion has in store for Ford.
