Members of The Pride

Bobby Lashley

Bobby Lashley is a force to be reckoned with, both in the world of professional wrestling and mixed martial arts. This American athlete boasts an impressive career spanning over two decades, leaving his mark in both realms.

Lashley's dominance in wrestling is undeniable. Currently signed to WWE and performing on the SmackDown brand, he has held numerous prestigious titles, including the coveted WWE Championship twice. He's also a two-time ECW World Champion and a four-time TNA World Heavyweight Champion, solidifying his place among wrestling's elite. Beyond the squared circle, Lashley has also competed in MMA, showcasing his fighting prowess in organizations like Bellator MMA and Strikeforce.

Montez Ford

Montez Ford, electrifying the WWE stage with his high-flying acrobatics and infectious charisma, is one half of the renowned tag team, The Street Profits. Born Kenneth Crawford, this 33-year-old athlete carved his path to success with sheer determination. Before captivating audiences with his in-ring skills, Ford excelled as a track star in his youth, even serving proudly in the U.S. Marine Corps.

His athletic prowess naturally translated into the world of wrestling, where he, alongside his partner Angelo Dawkins, has achieved remarkable feats. Together, they are three-time WWE Tag Team Champions, holding the Raw, SmackDown, and NXT titles, making them the fastest to achieve this prestigious Triple Crown distinction.

Angelo Dawkins

Angelo Dawkins, the other half of the dynamic duo known as The Street Profits, brings a unique blend of power and athleticism to the WWE ring. Born Gary Gordon in 1990, his journey began not in the squared circle, but on the athletic fields. Dawkins' prowess extended beyond wrestling, as he achieved national titles in football, track, and even wrestling during his college years.

This competitive spirit translated seamlessly into the world of professional wrestling, where he initially struggled to find his footing as a solo competitor. However, his fortunes changed upon forming The Street Profits with Montez Ford. Together, they have become a dominant force, capturing the Raw, SmackDown, and NXT Tag Team Championships, etching their names in WWE history as the fastest team to achieve the coveted Triple Crown.

History of The Pride in WWE

The Street Profits came back to SmackDown during the 2023 WWE Draft. Weeks later, during an August 4th episode, they took an unexpected heel turn. Interrupting a tag team match, they took out both teams involved, sending shockwaves through the WWE Universe. This bold move aligned them with the returning Bobby Lashley, the trio celebrating their dominance together.

Their newfound alliance led them to their first match as a unit, facing the Latino World Order (LWO) in a six-man tag team battle at Fastlane. Adding fuel to the fire, the day before the event, they strategically took out two members of the LWO, leaving them shorthanded. However, at the event, a surprise awaited them. The returning Carlito joined forces with Rey Mysterio and Santos Escobar, giving the LWO the edge they needed to secure victory.

Despite the setback, The Street Profits continued their journey. Their pursuit of the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship against The Judgment Day was cut short on the November 24th episode of SmackDown. They were about to win, but an interference from Rhea Ripley ultimately cost them the match, marking their return to the face side of the roster. The trio would soon go on to be named The Pride.

Championships and Accomplishments

Bobby Lashley, Montez Ford, and Angelo Dawkins have not won any championship in WWE since becoming a trio. Nonetheless, all three superstars have basked in gold while working separately.
