WWE: 5 up-and-coming stars primed for a breakout after the draft

4. The Street Profits
The path The Street Profits have taken on the main roster has been one of the more bizarre storylines in WWE this year. Unlike a traditional call-up, that would lead to a wrestling match like most things in a wrestling promotion would, The Street Profits have been relegated to comedic backstage segments for weeks on end.
It’s been the strangest treatment of an NXT call-up since *checks notes* Lacey Evans, yet that looks like it’s finally about to change.
The Street Profits were actually picked by Raw in the fourth round of the first night of the draft. This seems to have led to Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins entering into a rivalry and potential future match against The O.C.’s Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson.
A backstage assault by “The Good Brothers” and AJ Styles on Raw likely means we should finally get a chance to see The Street Profits show off their in-ring skills on the main roster.
Hopefully, this can lead to the kind of meteoric rise we saw the aforementioned Lacey Evans take after her strange “debut” angle ended, because we all know how great Ford and Dawkins can be.
They really do deserve a chance to shine on Raw, even if it’s coming a bit later than any logical person would have expected.
