In a stunning turn of events, Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins of the Street Profits finally turned their villainous aspirations into championship gold, dethroning #DIY on SmackDown in front of a raucous Spanish crowd.
After spending months embracing the dark side like a tag team version of Anakin Skywalker, the Profits made good on their Royal Rumble betrayal, walking into Barcelona with bad intentions and even better execution.
But first—because WWE loves a little pre-match drama—Santos Escobar and Legado Del Fantasma confronted the duo before they even hit the ring. Escobar, ever the opportunist, essentially said, “Good luck, but don’t get too comfortable—those belts will look better on us.” Nothing says sportsmanship quite like threatening to steal someone’s gold before they even win it.
Tag Team Turmoil: DIY’s Reign Ends in Chaos
The match itself? A back-and-forth barnburner, with #DIY pulling out all the classic underdog tactics they’ve been using since the NXT TakeOver era. But just when it looked like Tommaso Ciampa and Johnny Gargano were about to retain, the Profits played their own game of uno reverse.
- Dawkins dodged DIY’s Meet-in-the-Middle finisher, causing Gargano to accidentally superkick Ciampa—because what’s a good DIY match without some accidental friendly fire?
- Dawkins then hit Sky High on Gargano, taking him out of the equation.
- Ford, never one to miss a moment, soared with the Seven Star Splash on Ciampa to get the three-count and reclaim tag team gold after four years.
What’s Next?
With Pretty Deadly already set to challenge the winners next week, the Profits have zero time to celebrate. Meanwhile, DIY’s 98-day reign comes to a bitter end, proving once again that wrestling title reigns last about as long as your New Year’s resolutions.
One thing’s for sure: Barcelona won’t forget this night anytime soon—because somewhere in the city, Ciampa is still trying to explain to Gargano why that superkick wasn’t his fault.
