Over the summer, Bobby Lashley courted The Street Profits (Montez Ford & Angelo Dawkins) to align with him. The courting worked and Lashley turned the Profits into new men, even getting Dawkins to dress in a suit.
Lashley has been no stranger to groups since the pandemic, previously being aligned with the Hurt Business (MVP, Shelton Benjamin, & Cedric Alexander).
Speaking on 100.7 The Bay, Lashley was asked why he took the Street Profits under his wing.
"When I first came on, there were a lot of guys that supported me and helped me because they saw something in me. That's what I did at this point of my career because achieving that accolade of winning a WWE Championship was enormous for my career and nothing can really top that. Now, it's just building a legacy, and a legacy with people I want to be with and be around. That was the reason why I picked the Street Profits originally. It's not that I'm over or I'm not doing anything, I know what I'm capable of doing and I have a lot left in the tank to win another WWE Championship, to win a Tag Team Championship. I have a lot left in the tank for all of these different areas. I just wanted to bring some people on that I felt would be deserving. I watched The Street Profits for a while and those guys are extremely talented. They just needed the right allies. To be an ally for these guys, I think they can do some incredible things," he said.
Lashley will team with the Street Profits at WWE Fastlane to take on the LWO (Rey Mysterio, Santos Escobar, and a third partner). Fans can check out the lineup for WWE Fastlane by clicking here.
