10 Recent Wrestling Gimmicks That Already Look Done For

10. Hit Row

Of all the returns since Triple H took control, and there have been many, the one that raised the most eyebrows was the return of Hit Row.

It's good to see people getting a shot at the big time, and mixing things up should be encouraged, especially on a roster that has felt stale since the mass releases over the past few years. But there are a couple of things that are working against Hit Row, and they are both big factors as to why the crowd interest has already seemingly cooled.

Firstly, their initial stay on the main roster was, to quote the late, great Randy Savage, "a cup of coffee in the big time". They were gone before they got started, so unless you watched NXT during the dying embers of the black and gold era, which evidently people didn't, Hit Row weren't much of a concern.

Secondly, whilst the group certainly have charisma and bucket loads of confidence, the act isn't the most explosive in the ring. And lastly, these three were primarily background noise to the real star of the faction, Swerve Scott, who has since found success as one of the most interesting heels in All Elite Wrestling.

Without their frontman, Hit Row feels like an incomplete act, and after a few not so impressive in-ring outings and that awful rap segment, it's hard to see them as genuine threats to the Usos. In fact, it's hard to see much for them going forward.
