3. Hit Row

One of several surprise returnees in the first flourishes of the Triple H regime, Hit Row's impact second time around was always going to be unknown due to the lack of opportunity to make it during the first attempt, and a Swerve Strickland-shaped hole at the core of the unit.

After a few weeks, their contributions could generously be described as nominal.

Everybody's been allowed to score points on the teflon and magnificent Maximum Male Models act, and the up-and-comers felt like that more than cocksure certainties when meshed with more experienced outfits on the show.

That's not to say there aren't impending plans for the trio, but they already look to be more mini-mart than Big Tescos in terms of major recent returns. You know the sort - scaled down supermarket, fits inside a petrol station. Those places are convenient and just sometimes are everything you need, but they don't service communities anymore than Hit Row can do SmackDown's tag division at present.
