Three members of former WWE stable Hit Row will soon reunite on the independent scene.

As confirmed by GCW stalwart AJ Gray on Tuesday, the competitors once known as Top Dolla, B-Fab, and Ashante 'Thee' Adonis will be at For The Culture on Friday 1 April:-

This will be the fourth For The Culture event GCW and Gray have promoted since 2020. It forms part of The Collective's busy WrestleMania-adjacent schedule in the Dallas, Texas area, and is typically one of the weekend's better shows.

Now going by HitMakerZ, the former Hit Row members appear to be working as their real names (AJ Francis, Briana Brandy, and Tehuti Miles) outwith WWE, if their social media profiles are anything to go by. All that's missing from their reunion is Shane Strickland, the fourth Hit Row member, who has lined up a busy independent calendar since his WWE non-compete clause expired earlier this year.

Hit Row got over huge in NXT last spring, when they came together around Strickland, the former Isaiah 'Swerve' Scott. Brought up to the main roster as part of the 2021 WWE Draft, they were all released within 15 days of each other the following month.
