Hit Row has turned heel.
On the December 30 episode of WWE SmackDown, Ricochet mocked Top Dolla for his botched dive during SmackDown a few weeks ago. Top Dolla got fired up and shoved Ricochet, and the confrontation led to a match between the two, which was announced for the following week.
Ricochet then defeated Top Dolla to qualify for the men’s Royal Rumble match. After the bell, Top Dolla offered Ricochet a handshake and raised his arm, but it was all a ruse. Ashante “Thee” Adonis blindsided the former WWE Intercontinental Champion. He hit Ricochet with a super kick before Top Dolla and B-Fab also took part in beating Ricochet down.
In the end, Braun Strowman ran down to the ring to make the save and send Hit Row retreating.
