The Street Profits (Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins) made a one-off return to NXT on the August 29 episode. They briefly interacted with NXT Champion Carmelo Hayes. The segment sparked some buzz, as MVP previously posted a picture of himself, Hayes, Omos, and the Street Profits. In doing so, he seemingly teased that they could form a group down the road. Lashley, Ford, and Dawkins have joined forces on SmackDown, while Omos has been absent from WWE TV for several weeks.

Speaking with Matt Aguilar for ComicBook Nation, Hayes was asked to share his thoughts on Lashley and the Street Profits as a group and whether he would ever lend them a hand.

“Those are all guys that I’m very, very high on and I know vice versa, I think they’re very high on Trick and I as well. Shoot, I wish the best for them. As of right now, my main focus is what I’m doing here in NXT. I’m focused on this NXT Championship run, I’m focused on holding the company on my back, I’m focused on that. So it’s hard for me to kind of one eye over here, one eye over there. A lot of people doing that for me, but little do they know I’m so solely focused on what I’m doing here in NXT and that’s being the NXT Champion and defending this championship against Ilja Dragunov at No Mercy,” Hayes said.

Bobby Lashley will appear on The Grayson Waller Effect on the September 29 episode of WWE SmackDown. Check out the card here. Fightful will have coverage of the show as it airs.
