Ex-WWE Champion’s Heartfelt Reaction To First PLE Match In 16 Months
One WWE star might not win at SummerSlam, but they’re celebrating the fact they’re back on a premium live event for the first time in 16 months.
SummerSlam will see John Cena defend his WWE Championship against King of the Ring Cody Rhodes. The Queen of the Ring, Jade Cargill, will challenge Tiffany Stratton for the WWE Women’s Title. Gunther puts his World Heavyweight Championship on the line against CM Punk, and there will be an Evolution rematch when Naomi defends her Women’s World Title against IYO SKY and Rhea Ripley – except this time SKY and Ripley know in advance that Naomi will be part of the match.
The first two-night SummerSlam will also see history made as the biggest-ever TLC match in WWE takes place with six teams vying to be WWE Tag Team Champions.
Montez Ford Celebrates WWE SummerSlam Match
One of those teams is the Street Profits, and Montez Ford has taken to social media to express how much it means to him that he and Angelo Dawkins are back on a WWE PLE following a sixteen-month absence:
1ST PLE FOR STREET PROFITS IN 16 MONTHS!
All praises to the most high, I’m celebrating/thankful early. Biggest week of my life as I’m Blessed to be a part of our first PLE in 16 months and to be a part of the 25th Anniversary of the TLC Match from 2000. It’s crazy to think I watched the last one as a kid & now we are a part of the 25th Anniversary of that same match. Crazy full circle and how life works.
Every tag team from the first one, and this one, is special, and have worked their asses off for this spot, but those Tag Team Championships are coming home to the GANG…GANG. The Profits.
Thanks for continuing to rock with us, and we will See you in Jersey!

The last time the Street Profits made it onto a WWE premium live event was back at WrestleMania 40 in 2024 when they teamed with Bobby Lashley to defeat Karrion Kross and Authors of Pain.
