History

Formation and NXT tenure (2020–2021)

Hit Row was formed in May 2021 on WWE's NXT brand, with "Swerve" Scott establishing himself as the leader of the inspired . The group consisted of Scott, powerhouses Top Dolla (AJ Francis) and Ashante "Thee" Adonis, and manager (Briana Brandy), who served as the hype woman with her mic skills and occasional in-ring interference. Drawing parallels to record labels like , Hit Row blended with rap culture, featuring entrance themes, promos, and segments that emphasized swagger, street credibility, and musical flair to engage audiences. The stable made their in-ring debut on the May 18, 2021, episode of NXT, where Top Dolla and defeated and in a match, showcasing the duo's athleticism and while hyped the crowd from ringside. Building momentum, Hit Row secured another victory on June 22, 2021, as and Top Dolla beat Ever-Rise ( and Matt Martel), further highlighting their synergy and the group's entertaining, music-infused presentation that quickly gained viral attention through battle segments and crowd chants. Scott's technical prowess as a singles competitor complemented the unit, leading to his win on June 29, 2021, against in a hard-fought main event, marking the stable's first title and elevating their status in NXT. Throughout mid-2021, Hit Row engaged in key feuds that solidified their heel-to-face transition, most notably against Legado Del Fantasma led by Santos Escobar. The rivalry ignited in July 2021 with confrontations, including Hit Row interrupting Legado's "Mariachi Madness" musical segment on July 20 and exchanging rhymed threats on July 27, escalating to multi-man tag matches. Notable bouts included a tag team clash on August 3 where Adonis and Top Dolla faced Joaquin Wilde and Raul Mendoza, ending in disqualification due to interference, and a six-man tag on August 24 featuring Scott, Adonis, and Top Dolla against Escobar, Wilde, and Mendoza, which Hit Row lost amid ongoing parking lot brawls and personal attacks. These storylines emphasized internal dynamics—Scott's cunning strategy, Top Dolla's dominant slams like the Top Dolla-la, Adonis's high-flying agility, and B-Fab's verbal jabs—while their rap promos and crowd interactions built significant momentum before a pivotal shift to the main roster.

Main roster transition and initial disbandment (2021)

Following their successful tenure in NXT, where they captured multiple championships and built a strong fan following with their inspired persona, Hit Row—consisting of "Swerve" Scott, Top Dolla, Ashante "Thee" Adonis, and —was drafted to the SmackDown brand as part of the on October 1. The group's promotion to the main roster generated anticipation for their unique style to translate to the blue brand, with announcing the move during the draft broadcast. Hit Row made their SmackDown debut on the October 22, 2021, episode from , entering to a custom entrance theme and cutting a self-written promo emphasizing their rap-infused attitude and intent to dominate the division. In their first match, Scott and Top Dolla teamed up to defeat local competitors Dustin Lawyer and Daniel Williams via pinfall, showcasing their in-ring chemistry while and hyped the action from ringside. The faction's appearances remained sparse thereafter, limited primarily to a November 5 segment where they assaulted after he ridiculed their entrance routine, highlighting ongoing creative challenges in integrating the group amid SmackDown's crowded roster. The group's main roster run ended abruptly amid WWE's widespread budget cuts initiated by Vince McMahon, with B-Fab released from her contract on November 4, 2021, just weeks after the debut. The remaining members—Scott, Top Dolla, and Adonis—followed on November 18, 2021, as part of a larger wave of talent reductions that affected over 80 performers that year. Official internal communications from WWE talent relations cited financial constraints as the primary reason, compounded by the faction's minimal television exposure and inability to secure consistent booking slots. In the wake of the releases, Hit Row members voiced public disappointment over the unfulfilled promise of their main roster call-up. Isaiah "Swerve" Scott expressed particular frustration, describing the situation as an embarrassment that made him feel he had let down his family after high expectations from NXT success. Later reflections from Scott highlighted additional internal factors, including a dispute involving and unspecified backstage tensions within the group that contributed to the rapid disbandment.

Independent circuit activities (2022)

Following their release from WWE in November 2021, members of Hit Row began exploring opportunities on the independent wrestling circuit, marking a shift toward non-exclusive bookings that allowed for creative flexibility outside major promotions. In March 2022, the group achieved its first full reunion since the release at MCW Pro Wrestling's Spring Fever event on March 19 in Parkville, Maryland, where all four members—Isaiah "Swerve" Scott, AJ Francis (Top Dolla), Tehuti Miles (Ashante "Thee" Adonis), and Briana Brandy (B-Fab)—appeared together under the name The HitMakerZ. During the show, Top Dolla and Adonis teamed up to defeat Clay Jacobs and Boom Hayden in a tag team match, with B-Fab and Swerve providing ringside support to emphasize the group's signature hip-hop persona through entrance theatrics and post-match interactions. This reunion was short-lived as a complete unit, however, due to Swerve's burgeoning interest from (AEW), where he had signed a contract earlier that month and debuted at the pay-per-view on March 6, 2022. Partial reunions followed, with Top Dolla, , and continuing to appear together at multi-promotion events while Swerve pursued his solo trajectory. A notable instance occurred on April 1, 2022, at GCW's For The Culture event in , —part of the broader GCW The Collective weekend during —as Top Dolla and challenged for the GCW World Tag Team Championship. Accompanied by , the duo faced Shane Taylor Promotions (O'Shay Edwards and Moses) but lost via pinfall after a competitive bout that highlighted Top Dolla's maneuvers and Adonis's agile offense against indie competitors. Throughout 2022, individual and partial group activities emphasized Adonis's singles bouts against various talents, often showcasing his charismatic work, while Top Dolla focused on high-impact and showcase matches to demonstrate his athleticism despite his size. B-Fab's involvement remained limited to managerial roles, primarily as a hyping the team during entrances and interferences, without in-ring competition. These efforts were hampered by logistical challenges, including separate contracts for each member and Swerve's rapid rise in AEW, which prevented sustained full-group bookings and shifted focus to ad-hoc partial reunions at select shows.

WWE returns and final disbandment (2022–2025)

In August 2022, following their release in late 2021, Top Dolla (AJ Francis), Ashante "Thee" Adonis, and re-signed with and returned to the SmackDown brand as the core of Hit Row, without former leader "Swerve" Scott, who had departed for earlier that year. The trio debuted on the August 12 episode of SmackDown, defeating enhancement talent Brendon Scott and Trevor Irvin in a squash match, signaling a fresh start under the new creative direction led by . This return marked the absence of a full group reunion, as Scott—repackaged and thriving as in AEW—remained outside , focusing on his solo career and eventual world championship pursuits there. The reconstituted Hit Row engaged in a tag team run on SmackDown throughout late 2022 and into 2023, with Top Dolla and Adonis competing as a unit while B-Fab served primarily as their valet and hype woman. Notable highlights included their victory in a triple threat tag team match against The Viking Raiders (Erik and Ivar) and Legado del Fantasma (Cruz Del Toro and Joaquin Wilde) on the December 16, 2022, episode of SmackDown, showcasing their athletic synergy and crowd appeal. However, momentum waned as Top Dolla was released from WWE on September 21, 2023, amid a broader talent cut, effectively signaling the informal disbandment of the group by late 2023. Adonis continued tag team efforts, partnering with various competitors on SmackDown and later NXT, while B-Fab transitioned toward a more prominent role. B-Fab evolved from a managerial figure to a solo in-ring performer starting in early 2024, making her official main roster wrestling debut at the event on January 27, where she entered the women's at number seven before being eliminated by . She further expanded her presence through involvement in ID, the company's developmental program aimed at scouting and elevating independent talent, including participation in showcase events that highlighted her and wrestling skills. paired with B-Fab sporadically in non-title tag scenarios until his contract expired without renewal on August 10, 2025, leaving B-Fab as the sole remaining member without any Hit Row branding. As of November 2025, maintained an active presence, appearing in NXT segments to mentor emerging talents and on main roster SmackDown in multi-woman brawls and hype packages, positioning her as a versatile utility performer amid the group's definitive end. Her ongoing role underscored the staggered dissolution of Hit Row, with no indications of revival following the departures of her former stablemates.

Members and roles

The core members of Hit Row were Isaiah "Swerve" Scott, Top Dolla, Ashante "Thee" Adonis, and , who formed the stable in WWE's NXT brand in May 2021 as a inspired group blending wrestling prowess with musical elements.

Additional and former members

Throughout its run, Hit Row did not feature any formal additional members or replacements, maintaining a stable core lineup of four that emphasized group cohesion without transient additions. Occasional allies, such as "Swerve" Scott's prior NXT competitors, were not integrated into the stable as associates. Swerve Scott departed from Hit Row following the group's 2021 WWE release, opting not to rejoin upon the others' 2022 return and instead signing with in March 2022. This made him the primary former member who left mid-run, as briefly reformed without him before its eventual disbandment.

Wrestling career highlights

Signature moves and style

Hit Row's in-ring style drew heavily from street-fight influences, incorporating elements such as rhythmic rap entrances, synchronized taunts, and dynamic multi-man sequences that emphasized group synergy over individual spotlights. This approach created a high-energy atmosphere, blending athleticism with cultural flair to engage audiences through coordinated offense and opportunistic plays. The stable's presentation highlighted a diverse skill set among its core members: Swerve Strickland's technical precision and aerial capabilities as an and high flyer, Top Dolla's as a powerhouse brawler, Ashante Adonis's agile speed for quick strikes, and B-Fab's ringside interference to disrupt opponents and maintain momentum. Key signature moves defined the group's offensive arsenal, often setting up their collaborative finishes. Strickland frequently utilized the , a leaping heel kick targeting the opponent's head or chest for a stunning impact. Dolla and executed the Heavy Hitter as a team finisher, with Dolla lifting the opponent for a setup and delivering a stomping blow to complete the devastating slam. also contributed with the , a superkick delivered with precision to stun opponents. These individual techniques fed into group-oriented maneuvers, such as multi-man dives from the rope or apron, where members executed simultaneous aerial assaults to overwhelm multiple opponents in tag or multi-team bouts. The evolution of Hit Row's style reflected adaptations across promotions. During their NXT tenure in 2021, the group thrived on high-energy matches filled with rapid exchanges, elaborate taunts, and full utilization of their persona to build crowd investment in feuds like the one against . Upon transitioning to the main roster in late 2021 and reuniting in 2022 without Strickland, their presentation became more restrained, with shorter TV segments limiting the elaborate multi-man offense and integrations in favor of streamlined action amid booking constraints. This shift contributed to a perceived toning down of their original NXT vibrancy, focusing more on and Top Dolla's core dynamic while B-Fab's role emphasized managerial distractions.

Championships and accomplishments

The group earned opportunities for the during their initial NXT run in 2021, including victories over teams like Ever-Rise and 205 Live competitors and to position themselves as contenders, but they never secured a successful title reign. Upon their return to the main roster in 2022, Ashante Adonis and Top Dolla continued their push, culminating in a win over and in a No. 1 Contenders' Match on the December 16, 2022, episode of SmackDown, earning a shot at the Undisputed Tag Team Championship; however, they fell short against the following week.
