Swerve Strickland Reacts To Hit Row WWE Return On SmackDown

AEW Tag Team Champion Swerve Strickland is reacting to his former faction Hit Row, returning to WWE SmackDown.

It appears to be all love between Swerve and the returning three of four of the previous iteration of Hit Row, a fan favorite on NXT as well as their brief run on the main roster.

Swerve, who in addition to being an AEW champ is a podcaster, rapper and all around mogul, posted a gif of Snoop Dogg nodding, seemingly in approval.

Afterward however, Strickland had to remind Twitter that it’s Swerve’s House where ever he may be, responding to a shady message from a “fan.”

After the fan wrote that Swerve was “wasting away” in AEW, Swerve hit them with the screen grab of himself and co-AEW Tag Team Champ, former WWE star Keith Lee, on the banner of the AEW Twitter account.

Hit Row returned on tonight’s episode of WWE SmackDown and after short match with local talent, all three took to the mic to re-introduce themselves.

Along with Ashante thee Adonis and Top Dolla, B-Fab referred to them collectively as “the O.G. three,” perhaps referencing that there will not be a fourth member added to replace the departed Swerve Strickland.

Elsewhere on SmackDown, another returning star, Karrion Kross referenced his and real life wife Scarlett Boudreaux’s releases directly in a backstage promo.
