Big E: It's Time To Get Montez Ford Cooking

Big E has heaped praise upon former SmackDown Tag Team Champion Montez Ford and urged WWE to get him "cooking" on Monday Night Raw.

"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 said on WWE's The Bump.

Ford has been viewed by many as a future star for the past couple of years and he could soon capture singles gold, having qualified for the Elimination Chamber Match for the United States Championship at the February 18 pay-per-view. Ford earned a spot in the bout after defeating Elias on the February 6 edition of Monday Night Raw.

Outside of singles competition, Ford remains one-half of The Street Profits with Angelo Dawkins.
