Top Dolla: Hit Row's WWE Release Was Just A Child Of Circumstance

Top Dolla says he and the rest of Hit Row understand that their release from WWE was 'just a child of circumstance'.

Dolla, along with Hit Row teammates Isiah 'Swerve' Scott and Ashante 'Thee' Adonis, was released by WWE in the most recent round of budget cuts, amid reports that he had heat on him backstage.

Speaking on Busted Open Radio, he said: "To be honest, we know we are talented. We know that us being released is just a child of circumstance. There’s not really much more that we could have done to prove that we belong.

"When I get released and WWE Hall Of Famers are the first people to reach out to me to say, ‘man, I don’t know what they’re doing.’ Then I know that I did something right.”

Dolla also opened up on the creative process in WWE, detailing some of the things Hit Row were asked to do during their brief time up on the main roster.

He added: "Craziest part of the creative process with us is that when we got called up to SmackDown, they said, ‘we want you to write promos for The Usos, The New Day, The Viking Raiders, the women’s division for Briana and an introductory promo. The introductory promo that we did on SmackDown with our debut was the promo that we wrote that night when we wrote all five of those promos.

"But I bring it up because, it was two o’clock in the morning and we are writing these promos,” he said. “We record us saying the promos so we can send it to them. So that they can see what we are going to say and how we are going to say it. Because it sometimes… you see something on paper that doesn’t translate the same way. You can’t comprehend from the paper how it’s going to come off.

"So we sent them the videos of us doing the promos so they can see it. They were like, ‘wow, we love the work ethic. Nobody does anything like this, nobody dedicates themselves to do things like this.’ Then like, it’s all for naught, so it’s just wild to me."
