On the NXT brand, the group and Isaiah “Swerve” Scott founded Hit Row in May of last year. They were chosen to join SmackDown in October. The rest of the group weren’t released until November 18, a few weeks after B-Fab on November 4. After signing with AEW earlier this year, Scott has since changed his name back to Swerve Strickland. He is currently one half of the AEW World Tag Team Champions alongside Keith Lee, who was also let go by WWE last year. With the recent return to WWE of Dakota Kai, Karrion Kross, Scarlett, and Dexter Lumis, They are the most recent group to do so.
