B-Fab, Top Dolla, Ashante "Thee" Adonis Return To WWE On SmackDown
The former Hit Row members have a new name
B-Fab, Top Dolla, and Ashante "Thee" Adonis of the former Hit Row all returned to WWE on Friday night's SmackDown in Raleigh.
Top Dolla and Adonis were in tag team action, where they won a squash match. After their victory, the trio cut a promo, where they reintroduced themselves as The OG3.
PWInsider had reported Thursday that WWE was interested in bringing Top Dolla and Adonis in for SmackDown, though there was no word at the time about B-Fab coming in.
In May of last year, B-Fab, Top Dolla, and Adonis formed Hit Row with Isaiah "Swerve" Scott (Swerve Strickland). In October, the four were drafted to the SmackDown brand, but their tenure on the main roster was short-lived. B-Fab was let go on November 4 as part of a wave of cuts, while Top Dolla, Adonis, and Swerve were all let go on November 18. Swerve went on to sign with AEW, where he and Keith Lee presently reign as World Tag Team champions.
The OG3 are the latest in a line of fairly-recent WWE releases that have been brought back over the last week. Karrion Kross and Scarlett returned on last Friday's SmackDown, while Dexter Lumis returned on Monday's Raw.
