Montez Ford lost the WWE Tag Team Titles on RAW, but the internet is stuck on what happened before the bell rang.
The Street Profits walked into Monday’s WWE RAW at the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Illinois as champions, but Ford gave fans a moment they were never going to ignore. Before the match even got going, Ford was out there in full gold gear, feeling himself at ringside, and then dropped low in front of a barricade-side security guard.
The guard did not move. He did not laugh. He just stared forward while Ford shook it right in front of him, and that was all fans needed.
Now the clip is making the rounds on X, because Ford’s twerking before losing the titles has become the kind of wrestling moment fans will meme to death. It was wild, random, and perfectly Montez Ford.
That moment made the title loss even funnier to fans online. Ford came out with all the confidence in the world, got the crowd going, gave security the show of a lifetime, and then the Street Profits ended the night without the World Tag Team Championships.
The actual match had plenty going on too. The Street Profits defended the titles against The Vision, with Paul Heyman putting pressure on his group to bring the gold back. Logan Paul got involved with brass knuckles, the referee caught one attempt, and then things got even messier.
Just when it looked like the Street Profits might survive, Maxxine Dupri jumped into the ring and hit Angelo Dawkins with a low blow. That opened the door for The Vision to get the win and walk out with the titles.
After the match, Maxxine jumped into Austin Theory’s arms and kissed him, making it clear she is now tied into The Vision’s story. Pyro hit, the new champions celebrated, and the Street Profits were left with nothing but a bad night and one very viral clip.
Ford probably did not plan on his pre-match twerking becoming the big takeaway, but that is exactly what happened. Fans are already praising him for turning a tough title loss into a hilarious highlight, and some are even joking that the security guard deserves a title shot for keeping a straight face. That is the danger of doing anything funny on live TV. You might lose the match, but the internet will make sure the clip lives forever.
