Street Profits on being left off WrestleMania: ‘You got to ride the bench sometimes’
The Street Profits don’t sound too upset about being left off the WrestleMania 41 card.
Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins are set to defend their WWE Tag Team Championships this Friday on WrestleMania SmackDown against the Motor City Machine Guns but do not have a match scheduled at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on either Saturday or Sunday.
During an appearance on the It Is What It Is show, the champions were asked about not competing at the two-night event this year.
“I’d be lying if I said I don’t want to ride the pine,” Dawkins said. “But hey, sometimes you got to play your role. You got to ride the bench sometimes. But hey, you know what? We on SmackDown. We defending the titles. We going to do work against Motor City Machine Guns. We gonna beat them boys down.”
“We’re going to go out there and put on a show,” Dawkins added.
Cam’ron asks the Street Profits why they are the tag team champions if they are only wrestling on Wrestlemania Smackdown and not Wrestlemania.
