Fans are abuzz on Twitter over WWE’s treatment of Hit Row, the SmackDown stable. Reports suggest that the group, comprised of Top Dolla, Ashante “Thee” Adonis, and B-Fab, is now neglected by the company and may soon face their exit.
It’s a disheartening twist for the trio, who were rehired by Triple H in August 2022 after being cut during the November 2021 budget slashes. Their uncertain future has left fans speculating and expressing their disappointment online.
Despite high hopes for their return, Hit Row’s WWE run has been underwhelming. Poor booking, a lack of fan connection, and the absence of charismatic member Isaiah “Swerve” Scott have hindered their success. While rumors of their release circulate, recent Twitter backlash suggests fans believe WWE is wasting Hit Row.
During a recent appearance at Wrestling’s SmackTalk, Dutch Mantell, a seasoned wrestling legend, openly expressed his genuine sentiments about Hit Row. Despite developing a genuine liking for the group, particularly Top Dolla, Mantell attributed their unfortunate downfall to an untimely resurgence. He believed their reintroduction occurred at an inopportune moment, leading to their ultimate demise in the wrestling realm.
Mantell said, “Probably, but Hit Row I didn’t like them at first but now I kinda like them. The big-belly guy [Top Dolla], I kinda like him. They could do something with the Raiders, they could’ve done something with Hit Row. But I guess a lot of times it depends on what time the teams hit. I think they came along at the wrong time” (an article from sportskeeda.com mentioned)
