Former WWE Champion Says Rising Star Has ‘All The Tools’

WWE

The final stop on the Road to WrestleMania is set to take place next weekend, as WWE brings the Elimination Chamber to Montreal.

The titular match on the show will be for the United States Championship, with Austin Theory defending his title against Seth Rollins, Johnny Gargano, Bronson Reed, Damian Priest and Montez Ford.

Ford earned his spot in the match on this past week’s episode of Raw, defeating Elias in a qualifying match.

Many fans have looked at Ford’s opportunity as a potential ‘break out’ performance for the Street Profits member, who has long been tipped as a future world champion.

Former WWE Champion Big E spoke about Ford during his appearance on WWE’s The Bump, where he said that Ford has ‘all the talls’ to be a star.

He said:

“It’s hard not to be a Montez guy. You talk about someone who has all the tools, charismatic as hell, absurdly athletic. He has everything, so it’s about time for Montez to get his. I’m excited to see his rise and see his run.

“Talk about a star. Guy has screamed ‘star’ for a long time, so it’s time to get Montez cooking.”

Big E is currently out of action after suffering a broken neck on SmackDown in March 2022.

Ford and his wife Raw Women’s Champion Bianca Belair are set to star in an upcoming Hulu reality series.
