Montez Ford is eyeing WWE world championship gold

Having recently turned 33, Ford has plenty of years to make it to the company's top and eventually become the world champion.

During a recent interview on the Emarati radio show Talk 100.3, Montez said that he believes he may be the one to end Roman Reigns' 1005-day reign as WWE Universal Champion.

"I feel like I'm one of the guys, along with a lot of other people, I feel like I'm one of the guys that could definitely step up to the plate and like turn this business to another shift that has never been before. He's done some fantastic things, some fantastic feats. He's made so much history in this title reign. But, at this point, it should be my time. It's my time." [From 3:43 to 4:31]

The Money in the Bank Ladder Match winner earns the right to challenge any champion of their choice for up to a year. If Ford can win the high-stakes bout, he will advance further toward his goal of becoming a world champion.
