Bobby Lashley announces Royal Rumble 2024 plans before being attacked by returning tag team

Bobby Lashley and the Street Profits took to the ring at WWE SmackDown New Year’s Revolution to announce their plans for 2024. While the Profits claimed they were going after the tag team gold against the Judgment Day, Lashley had his announcement.

2023 was not a great year for the team, with multiple losses and a struggle to gain a footing in the roster. However, on the day 1 episode of SmackDown, they wished to clear the slate and start afresh. This could spell trouble for the rest of the roster.

Taking the mic, Lashley announced that he would be part of the Royal Rumble 2024. This will be the first PLE of the year that Lashley will grace. This got a massive pop from the crowd. Despite not having the powerful run he did back in the day, Lashley still has a good fan following.

Unfortunately, his announcement would be overshadowed by a returning Authors of Pain and Karrion Kross taking him and The Street Profits out. This came as no surprise because this was hinted at during the last episode of SmackDown.

How AOP could hinder The Street Profits

With the Authors of Pain and Karrion Kross now teaming up, fans can expect them to run through the roster to assert their dominance. This could also lead to them aiming for the titles which The Street Profits are after.

This could also spell disaster for Judgment Day as now two teams will be after their Tag Team titles. This addition to SmackDown has made things interesting for the fans, and there is a lot to look forward to.
