Nissan Stadium elicits fond memories for WWE’s Angelo Dawkins. SummerSlam can add to it greatly

Nissan Stadium in Nashville is home to WWE SummerSlam on Saturday, and The Street Profits (Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins) will be there — a big part of the biggest party of the summer.

The Street Profits challenge for the WWE undisputed tag team titles against the champion Usos of The Bloodline. Winning the undisputed tag team titles at SummerSlam would make The Street Profits grand slam WWE tag team champions. They previously won NXT, Raw and SmackDown tag team titles.

Whether The Street Profits win or not at SummerSlam, Nissan Stadium already elicits fond memories for Dawkins, a Cincinnati native, who celebrated ‘his’ Cincinnati Bengals upsetting the host Tennessee Titans 19-16 in the playoffs in January en route to a Super Bowl appearance.

No hard feelings as he is hopeful the Nashville faithful will still support him in his tag team’s quest to win undisputed gold.

Here is my video interview with Angelo Dawkins of the ultrasuccessful tag team The Street Profits.

Dawkins just celebrated his 32nd birthday (July 24), and the only thing better than his mom sending him Grippo’s BBQ potato chips for his big day would be to celebrate winning WWE undisputed tag team titles at SummerSlam over The Usos, a talented tag team The Street Profits have not beaten.
