WWE fans might be seeing the returns of two former NXT superstars. Earlier today, Mike Johnson of PWInsider reported that AJ Francis, better known simply as Top Dolla, was slated to be at the August 12 tapings of Smackdown Live in Raleigh, North Carolina. In an update to that report, Johnson added that Top Dolla's tag team partner, Ashonte "Thee" Adonis, is scheduled to attend the tapings as well.

Several other released talent have been brought back into the WWE since Triple H took charge, including Dakota Kai, Dexter Lumis, Karrion Kross, and Scarlet. Before their release in November of last year, Adonis and Francis were a part of the Hit Row stable alongside B-Fab and Swerve. There's been no word on whether B-Fab will be returning to WWE as well. Swerve, now one half of the AEW World Tag Team Champions alongside Keith Lee, will obviously not be joining his former teammates.

The Return of Hit Row?

The decision to bring back Adonis and Francis would be an interesting choice to say the least. Hit Row as a group had a lot of momentum, but Swerve was by far its most charismatic and athletically gifted member. B-Fab, though she wasn't too experienced in the ring, had a lot of star presence about her. If these reports prove to be true, it will be interesting to see how Francis and Adonis fair on their own, especially when considering the rumors that Francis had backstage heat during his WWE tenure.

The Smackdown tag team division has been struggling as of late, so an additional team could be a great benefit to the show. Hopefully their next run in WWE proves to be more successful than their first.
