WWE has reportedly chosen a faction name after Bobby Lashley’s alliance with The Street Profits on television for several months.
The Street Profits turned heel when they joined forces with Lashley to form a new faction on SmackDown. Recently, they have entered into a program with AOP and Karrion Kross.
According to a report from WrestleVotes, the group was initially supposed to be named “The Pride,” and WWE had intended to announce it on last week’s episode of SmackDown. However, for reasons unknown, the announcement was nixed. Additionally, there might be a change in the group’s direction.
The report states, “There were plans in place to name the Bobby Lashley / Street Profits faction on last weeks SmackDown, which got axed at the last second for unknown reasons. I’m told those plans are still tentative as the direction of the trio could be shifting. The planned name for the group is “The Pride”.
