Sorry, but Hit Row was the drizzles second time round. That's being kind to the first iteration, but at least the faction could lean on the obvious talents of Swerve Strickland (then Isaiah Scott) before he fled to AEW and slowly worked his way up the ladder towards stardom.

Top Dolla, meanwhile, struggled to convince anybody he could work a basic match. His powerhouse act played before silence on SmackDown, and it became clear that Hit Row just wasn't going to work out. WWE stepped in to stop the pain and put Dolla out to pasture once and for all.

Michael Cole must be gutted.
