The fastest path to wrestling's most prestigious tag team triple crown
In short: In the high-stakes world of professional wrestling, some teams spend years climbing the ranks. The Street Profits rewrote that timeline, becoming one of only four teams in history to achieve the WWE Tag Team Triple Crown—and doing it faster than anyone else before them.
The Street Profits, composed of Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford, achieved a rare feat by capturing three distinct tag team titles across different brands: the NXT Tag Team Championship, the Raw Tag Team Championship, and the SmackDown Tag Team Championship. By securing these honors, they joined an elite club that includes The Revival, The New Day, and The Hardy Boyz. However, their most notable distinction is speed; they accomplished this milestone in just 499 days, setting a record for the fastest acquisition of the Triple Crown.
Their journey began in WWE's developmental brand, NXT, where they debuted on March 16, 2016. After establishing themselves as fan favorites and winning their first titles on June 1, 2019, they were drafted to the Raw brand in October 2019. During this period, executive director Paul Heyman intentionally utilized backstage segments to showcase their personalities to a wider audience, a strategy designed to build 'over' status with fans beyond the developmental circuit.
The team's trajectory involved complex maneuvers and brand trades. In October 2020, they were drafted to SmackDown, where they famously traded the Raw Tag Team Championship to The New Day in exchange for the SmackDown Tag Team Championship—a move that officially made them the second team to ever secure the Triple Crown. Their career has been marked by frequent shifts in alignment, moving from fan favorites to 'heels' and back again as they navigated various alliances and high-profile feuds.
Despite numerous title defenses and losses, including a notable 88-day reign on SmackDown, the team remains a benchmark for rapid progression. Their ability to transition between brands while maintaining championship relevance highlights a specific era of WWE strategy that prioritized personality-driven marketing to capture younger demographics.
