Montez Ford Goes Viral as WWE Fans Debate Body Change After NXT Appearance

Montez Ford didn’t need a TV return to go viral — one loud moment at an NXT live event did it.

After the Street Profits showed up at a recent WWE NXT live event in Nashville, a short clip of Ford started making the rounds online and immediately pushed his name into the trending section. The reason wasn’t a match finish or a surprise angle — it was Ford reacting to the crowd while trying to get his entrance gear off.

In the clip that’s circulating everywhere, Ford struggles to peel off his jacket on the ring apron, turns toward the crowd, and yells the line that set social media off:

“I GOT MY WEIGHT UP.”

That’s the moment fans are reposting, remixing, and turning into memes — and it kicked off a wave of talk about Ford’s current look compared to his “Big Tez” days. Some reactions were jokes and before-and-after comparisons, while others defended it as normal bulking before cutting back down.

The timing is what makes it hit harder. The Street Profits have been off WWE TV for a stretch, and there’s been chatter about what’s next for them. Now they show up at NXT live events, and Ford instantly becomes the conversation — not because someone wrote a storyline for him, but because he grabbed the moment and owned it.

And if the point was to get people talking about Montez Ford again? Mission accomplished.

Do you think Montez Ford’s NXT live event moment was him just having fun, or is this the start of a retooled return for the Street Profits (or even a singles move)? Drop your thoughts and leave your feedback.
