5 Ups & 4 Downs From WWE SmackDown (Aug 12)
4. Some New (Old) Faces
Hit Row returning can only be a good thing for the tag-team division. They never got a fair shake before leaving last year, and there was enough in SmackDown's comeback squash to suggest that Top Dolla and Ashante Thee Adonis will be a credit to the doubles ranks on Friday nights.
B-FAB is a nice complement to the duo too.
They're missing Swerve Strickland, of course, but that can't exactly be helped given he inked a deal with AEW after leaving WWE. Now, perhaps more than ever, Hit Row has the chance to establish itself as one of SmackDown's top acts, and take a stab at those Undisputed Tag belts.
If nothing else, having Dolla and Adonis around means The Usos don't need to keep fighting The Street Profits or Mysterio clan forevermore. This was a promising restart for a group that really should've worked out first time.
