Gordon, under the ring name Angelo Dawkins, initially was the hype man for Sasha Banks, later becoming a part of a tag team in the NXT brand for two years alongside Sawyer Fulton.

[1] On the July 12, 2017 episode of NXT, Dawkins and Crawford (now renamed Montez Ford) started appearing in weekly vignettes as The Street Profits.

[2] The Street Profits would go on a winning streak, defeating the likes of The Ealy Brothers, Riddick Moss and Tino Sabbatelli, and local wrestlers.

[3][4] Later on, they entered the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic, where they defeated Heavy Machinery (Otis Dozovic and Tucker Knight) in the first round,[5] but were eliminated by AOP in the semifinals.

The match ended in a disqualification after Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch, and The Forgotten Sons (Jaxson Ryker, Steve Cutler, and Wesley Blake) got involved.

This was being done because Paul Heyman (who was executive director of Raw at the time) wanted to get their personalities out more to help them get more over with the fans, in front of a wider audience which ended up working for all parties involved later on.

[17] Later, the Street Profits were scheduled to challenge Rollins and Murphy for the Raw Tag Team Championship at Super ShowDown on February 27,[18] where they would be unsuccessful.

[22] In the following weeks, the Street Profits feuded with The Viking Raiders as they faced each other in several competitions such as a game of basketball, axe-throwing, golf, bowling, and a decathlon which was later dubbed as the "Anything You Can Do, We Can Do Better" series.

[23] At Backlash on June 14, they were set to face the Viking Raiders, but the match did not start due to them brawling outside the building, being accosted by Akira Tozawa and a group of ninjas, and ending up in a dumpster.

[35] On the second night of WrestleMania 38, on April 3, they once again failed to win the titles in a triple threat match also involving Alpha Academy (Chad Gable and Otis).

[45] On the July 14 episode of SmackDown, a returning Bobby Lashley appeared in a backstage segment with The Street Profits to recruit them to form an alliance.

[50][51] On the November 24 episode of SmackDown, The Street Profits failed to win the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship from The Judgment Day (Finn Bálor and Damian Priest) after interference from Rhea Ripley, turning face once again.

At SmackDown: New Year's Revolution, The Street Profits as part of The Pride cemented their face turn after Lashley was attacked by The Final Testament (Karrion Kross and the returning Authors of Pain), and starting a feud in the process.

[58] On the November 15 episode of SmackDown, Street Profits challenged Motor City Machine Guns (Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin) for the Tag Team Championship, but the match ended in a no contest after Tommaso Ciampa attacked both teams, after the match Angelo Dawkins attacked Alex Shelly leaving alongside Montez Ford both of them turning heel in the process.

Their reasoning was made apparent when, after the bell, the Profits also laid out Gargano and Ciampa, signifying their intention that they would be the ones to win the WWE Tag Team Championships from DIY as a measure of revenge, turning face once again.

[62][63] They would successfully defend the titles against the likes of the WorkHorsemen, AR Fox and Leon Ruff, Austin Theory and Harlem Bravado, and the Skulk.
