The Friday night faction warfare is heating up. As the fans know, Bobby Lashley and The Street Profits recently ignited a scorn for Karrion Kross‘ brand new faction, The Final Testament. On last night’s show, Kross and company accepted The Pride‘s challenge and asked Lashley’s trio for an in-ring faceoff next week. Ahead of the highly anticipated segment, Bobby Lashley took to X, and let everyone know that he and his boys were ready.

Judging by the brewing turmoil between the two sides, it’s not going to bode well, it seems. Lashley and Profits are hungry to avenge a well-orchestrated ambush inflicted on them by The Final Testament. Well, the babyface trio will have that opportunity next Friday as their foes prepare for their first-ever in-ring appearance as a unit.

By and large, a match between them seems on the horizon. With next week’s show serving as the go-home edition for the Royal Rumble, it’s possible the two factions trade hammerfists at the PLE. However, Bobby Lashley has also announced himself for the Men’s Royal Rumble match. Keeping that in mind, the inevitable clash between The Pride and The Final Testament could be pushed back.

One woman who may end up aligning herself with Lashley’s men is B-Fab. She was the one who emboldened the trio after they were blindsided by Akam and Rezar a few weeks ago. She could also help cover the gender dichotomy between the two factions, as Scarlett is already in the opposing camp.

Why Bobby Lashley took The Street Profits under his tutelage?

When WWE decided to pair The Street Profits with Bobby Lashley, the general fan reception was mostly positive. However, a couple of tepid storylines stalled the faction’s initial hype. They once again find themselves in a situation where the trio can really up the ante against Karrion Kross’ goons.

But the question is, why did Lashley choose Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins to begin with? Back in October, The All Mighty spoke to 100.7 The Bay and gave the rationale behind his affection for the former Tag Team Champions. Bobby admitted that, at this stage of his career, he didn’t actually need someone to carry out his act.

I just wanted to bring some people on that I felt would be deserving. I watched The Street Profits for a while and those guys are extremely talented. They just needed the right allies.

However, he just thought uplifting a couple of young guns in Dawkins and Ford was something he craved. The leader in Lashley is pretty optimistic about his alliance and sees bigger things in the future.
