WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns is having a great time in the company. He is a top heel of the company and he recently successfully defended the title against WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg in a short match at Elimination Chamber in Jeddah Saudi Arabia. Now, the former WWE star Isaiah ‘Swerve’ Scott has revealed what ‘The Tribal Chief’ told him after his Hit Row stablemate B-Fab was let go by the company.

Swerve and B-Fab were part of the stable Hit Row, signed to Friday Night SmackDown. It also involved ex-WWE stars Top Dolla and Ashante “Thee” Adonis. They were all released from their contracts shortly after getting a main-roster call up from NXT 2.0
During a recent interview with Sanchez Taylor of WrestleTalk, SW3RVE The Realest stated that the group wasn’t the same after B-Fab’s departure:
“I wouldn’t say [I lost interest in] pursuing WWE, because I was always interested in being there, but as far as the act of Hit Row, it kind of lost all the soul to it,” said SW3RVE. “The heart was gone. You took the heart out of us. Without the heart, everything else kind of falls apart a little bit more. They also didn’t give us the direction or a good enough amount of time to find our next heartbeat and get in the rhythm with everything. So it kinda just was like, ‘Let’s just do what they want, and see how long we can go with this before they make their next decision and move, and we can only adapt from there’.”
He added that during his time in WWE, Reigns had approached him and spoke to him about B-Fab’s release, offering the much-needed support:
“And I remember Roman Reigns talking to me about that, he hit me up in the hallway, he was like, ‘Man I’m sorry about what happened, y’all losing the girl in your group man, that’s heavy’. And I was like, ‘Yeah man we just gotta find ways to adapt and overcome’. He’s like, ‘That’s all you can do really’. And it was a real short conversation, it was just like that,” SW3RVE continued.
Reigns is set to face WWE Champion Brock Lesnar in a ‘Winner Take All’ match at WrestleMania 38.
