The first post-WWE reunion for the former members of Hit Row has been announced!
Hit Row, consisting of Isaiah “Swerve” Scott, Top Dolla, Ashante “Thee” Adonis and B-Fab, was formed back in May 2021 on NXT. The group quickly gained popularity before being called up to SmackDown during Night One of the latest WWE Draft in October.
To the surprise of many, B-Fab was one of 18 WWE Superstars released from the company on November 4th, only weeks after debuting on the blue brands and reportedly only a week after signing a new deal with WWE. The rest of her stablemates were released shortly thereafter on November 18th.
Now, MCW Pro Wrestling has announced that the group is set to reunite for the first time on March 19th at their Spring Fever event in Parkland, MD.

Hit Row member Top Dolla responded to reports he “rubbed people the wrong way” prior to his release
After the male members of Hit Row were released by WWE, former NFL star AJ Francis (who competed as Top Dolla in WWE) took to social media to respond to reports that he’d rubbed people the wrong way during his tenure in the company.
“Here’s what rubs people the wrong way.
-Standing up for your own. When Bri was released and I called the office myself to tell them they made a mistake.
-Standing up for yourself. Ppl in the PC told me ‘Hit Row’ wouldn’t work for a year and a half & I never took their advice.
TRUST ME I got plenty stories I can tell about how I was disrespected but just took it on the chin like a professional. Even with the video I released today it was all professionalism. But I’m NOT gonna let these BS ‘reports’ ruin my reputation. I got tea I can spill too.”

The Bri in question is Hit Row’s B-Fab, who after her release called WWE contracts a “sad & scary situation.”
