If you’re a fan of Hit Row, you’ll be happy.
Hit Row was released by WWE nearly instantly after they were brought up to Smackdown from NXT. That was during the Vince McMahon era. Now, under the Triple H regime, Hit Row was brought back as well as several other stars such as Johnny Gargano, Candice LeRae, Dakota Kai and more. But, how long have they signed for? Well, Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select has reported on some details for Hit Row’s contracts, noting that they all signed identical three year deals.
WWE has brought back numerous talent, and we’re starting to get some more details. Fightful has learned that specifically several of the talent brought back to the Smackdown brand are on three-year contracts that are set to expire in the Summer of 2025. Specifically, we’ve also heard that Hit Row have matching deals that expire around the same time, and are on those three year deals. Some of the talent brought back have representation and were able to negotiate different contracts. We’ve also heard that several of the talent brought back were able to negotiate the ability to utilize some outside projects and platforms that they would not have been allowed to do at the time they were released. It’s worth noting that many of those rules were already relaxed as far back as WrestleMania week, but now are even more relaxed. The preparation for some of these returns has ranged everywhere from the day before they appear, to less than a week in the case of Kross and Scarlett, to a few weeks for Johnny Gargano, to well over a month for Anderson and Gallows. We have not confirmed that all of those named are on three year deals. In the Triple H era, they’ve brought back Karrion Kross, Scarlett, Dakota Kai, Dexter Lumis, three members of Hit Row, Karl Anderson, Luke Gallows, Emma, and Mia Yim.
