Why B-Fab Is Earning Backstage Praise In WWE

WWE personnel were happy to see B-Fab get the opportunity to wrestle on last Friday's SmackDown, with the Street Profits ally earning backstage praise for her initiative lately.
Fightful Select reports that B-Fab has developed a reputation for "working hard to improve." As a result, staff and talent alike were gathered in the Gorilla Position, watching her match with Bayley and Candice LeRae on 15 November.
B-Fab has been training under Natalya and Tyson Kidd, becoming one of the New Hart Dungeon facility's most frequent visitors. The former Hit Row member had been "anxious" to work more matches and, after recent tag matches on WWE's overseas live tour, has performed well enough to earn more onscreen opportunities.
A WWE producer commented:
"Her initiative goes a long way. She's been called up, released, brought back, put with a different group. She's going above and beyond to make herself as available, useful and versatile as she can and always has a good attitude."
Last week's Triple Threat was only the 23rd match of B-Fab's career, per her Cagematch profile. Only five of those bouts were televised, including the 2023 Women's Royal Rumble and an Elimination Chamber Qualifying Battle Royal this February.
B-Fab Earns Backstage Praise For Hard Work In WWE
WWE signed B-Fab in August 2019, having first tried out for the promotion in 2017. She was in the ring less than four months after inking her developmental deal, competing on live events before the COVID-19 shutdown, but didn't debut on television until Hit Row's formation angle on the 11 May 2021 episode of NXT.
B-Fab's run alongside Isaiah 'Swerve' Scott, Ashante 'Thee' Adonis, and Top Dolla took them to the main roster later that year. WWE released them after just one trios match for Hit Row's male wrestlers on SmackDown, cutting the run short.
Brought back to WWE in August 2022 (sans Scott, who became Swerve Strickland in AEW), Hit Row were quietly disbanded by 2023. B-Fab then aligned with the Street Profits as part of Bobby Lashley's Pride stable. Lashley has since left WWE, but B-Fab remains with Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins onscreen.
There is currently no word of upcoming SmackDown opportunities for B-Fab, though her championing by several backstage WWE figures is encouraging.
