WrestleMania is just a few weeks away, and the matches are beginning to shape up. This week on SmackDown, three more matches were finalized for the Show of Shows. Now, WWE is planning a major No Holds Barred match, including former champions. 

According to Xero News on X, the Stamford-based company is planning to build up on the rivalry between the factions, Final Testament and The Pride. Bobby Lashley and the Street Profits will go up against Karrion Kross and AOP. It is expected that Scarlett and BFab will also be a part of the match in some way.

The rivalry between the two powerhouses got intense when Lashley eliminated Kross in the 2024 Royal Rumble match. Both factions have been trying to gain the upper hand on each other for weeks. On last week’s episode of SmackDown, Lashley, and Kross finally squared off in the ring, but it ended in a no-contest. A chaotic brawl broke out as the two groups tried to destroy each other with vicious attacks.

A new chapter will be added to this rivalry when the Street Profits battle Akam and Razor in a tag team match. The winner will qualify for the six-pack tag team ladder match for the Undisputed Tag Team Titles. It will be interesting to see whether one of these teams punches their ticket to WrestleMania or if a brawl breaks out again between the factions. 

Karrion Kross wants to see a match between Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins

The Street Profits members, Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins are one of the most popular tag teams in WWE. However, in recent times, Ford has garnered more attention with his high-flying abilities than his tag team partner. Kross has seen an opportunity to stir something up between the two.

The 38-year-old cut a backstage promo and gave a reply, especially to Ford for calling him delusional. Kross stated that the reason Ford became a star was because his partner, Dawkins, took the heavy bullets. He further added spice to the drama, saying Dawkins doesn’t get enough credit. 

Dawkins is the one who made him a star. He's the guy who takes all the bullets, so Montez can fly through the sky. Dawkins could've done it with anybody, but Dawkins never gets his flowers. I am really wondering how much long it's gonna take him to realize that the money is gonna be in him and BFab vs. Montez Ford and... I didn't even have to say her name.

Kross further saw an opportunity to create some tension between the Street Profits. He tried to convince Dawkins to have a match with BFab with his partners, Ford, and Bianca Belair. It will be interesting to see whether Karrion Kross manages to break The Street Profits apart.
