Angelo Dawkins showed up at the 2025 WWE Royal Rumble with a crutch, and now we know whythe Street Profits star recently had knee surgery.
According to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dawkins underwent a minor procedure to repair a torn meniscus just a couple of weeks before the event. Despite the injury, he was still involved in the 2 Out of 3 Falls WWE Tag Team Championship match between DIY and The Motor City Machine Guns, where he and Montez Ford played a major role in costing Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin their shot at the gold.
Meltzer revealed that Dawkins surgery wasnt something WWE had publicly addressed, adding, So Angelo Dawkins had minor knee surgery, torn meniscus, I believe, just in the last couple of weeks. So thats why you had the crutch. And I dont know that that was ever explained.
Meltzer noted that it wasnt brought up on commentary, and the only time it was mentioned was when Big E casually referenced it during the post-show, saying, Oh yeah, he just had knee surgery. Apparently, Dawkins himself told Big E earlier that day, and the comment wasnt part of any planned storyline reveal.
Dawkins last wrestled at a WWE live event on December 28, but it looks like he wont be out for long. The Street Profits arent going anywhere eitherdespite speculation last year, the duo is locked into WWE deals.
Do you think its best for business to keep The Street Profits together or you think they should both be singles stars? Let us know in the comments below.
