10 Triple H Guys Who Must Be MISERABLE In The New WWE
1. Hit Row
Hit Row's return to the WWE is like trying to light a candle that has melted down to it's wick. What once burned brightly has gone, it's time to face the facts.
During their time in NXT, Hit Row were a highlight of a show that needed sturdy rudders. Swerve Strickland, similarly, needed something to get his teeth into. As such, making himself the figurehead of a new stable was the right call and Hit Row's gimmick of actual musicians all banding together was pretty unique.
To say that the group's call-up to SmackDown is where the wheels fell off paints the wrong imagery. Someone hit the ejector seat on B-Fab, releasing her weeks after their debut, and then the car careened into the side of a mountain and exploded. In just 50 days the group had arrived and been cut.
Hit Row did get a second chance as of August 2022 but without their leader Swerve - who is now working in AEW - they just feel like they're missing something special. Despite the stable actually at least getting to win a few matches on television, they just feel aimless. B-Fab making her debut at the women's Royal Rumble and being eliminated in 36 seconds doesn't help either.
Hit Row found themselves in an unwinnable situation basically twice in a row and that can't feel good.
