9 Ups And 1 Down For WWE NXT (May 18)

2. Hit Row Makes A Statement

Stepping in-between the ropes as a unit for the very first time this week, Hit Row's Top Dolla and Ashante 'Thee' Adonis didn't mess around when it came to sending a message to the NXT locker room.

Pulverising Tony Nese and Ariya Daivari from bell-to-bell, the former AJ Francis exhibited his freakish strength in the form of a double World's Strongest Slam and a modified Death Valley Driver for the win. While Adonis relished the role of hot-head throughout, refusing to lay off when it came to his excessive brand of offence.

A quick group promo post-victory highlighted where this group's real talent hides as they put over the win and set the stage for Isaiah 'Swerve' Scott to challenge the victor of the night's main event. Is it too early to have Scott be fed to the (spoiler!) new champ so soon into Hit Row's existence?

There are more legs in a few tag team and singles squashes from the group in your writer's opinion, so build these vibrant faces up before unleashing them on their various division's title scenes.
