Fans familiar with the rap-group Hit Row are familiar with Ashante Thee Adonis. The 34-year-old star has been featured in several tag team matches on the main roster alongside his partner and former WWE Superstar, Top Dolla. Despite the hard work, they were unable to make their mark. However, it seems that WWE Creative has finally laid its sights on Adonis.

The showboating superstar was recently received by the SmackDown General Manager, Nick Aldis. He explained how he was hungry and ready to receive the opportunity. It seems the entire segment had a strong implication in terms of a big change coming to Adonis’ career. Sean Ross Sapp from the Fightful seems to have acknowledged the possibility as well.

Those keeping track of his career, remember his early days in WWE 205 Live. He has faced the likes of Damian Priest, Brian Kendrick, Cameron Grimes, and many others. He had a memorable initial run in Hit Row, especially with Swerve Strickland, fka Isaiah Swerve Scott, by his side. Fans are eager to find out what is in store for the young talent after this promising tease on SmackDown New Year’s Revolution.

Looking back at Ashante Thee Adonis’ career in WWE

The latest episode of Friday Night SmackDown emanated new hope for the career of Ashante Thee Adonis, fka Tehuti Miles. Adonis has a background of serving in the United States military as well as playing football for the University of Maryland.

His showboating skills and out-of-the-box ideas, once he sauntered to the ring, have managed to make him stand out. It all began once he made his debut in NXT back in 2020. Since then, he has faced several top-level NXT Superstars.

After having a fruitful run in MCW and ROH, Adonis brought his A-Game to NXT. Top Dolla, Isaiah Swerve Scott, and B-Fab soon ruled NXT and were drafted to SmackDown in 2021. However, the tides turned as they encountered backstage heat owing to Top Dolla. They could only wrestle one match before they were released.

It was on 12th August 2022, that Hit Row made a triumphant return. They had their first feud against the Maximum Male Models, and they emerged victorious. Later, after defeating Legado Del Fantasma and The Viking Raiders, they managed to secure a match against The Usos for the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championships. Despite falling short, it was an exhilarating attempt. Since then, Adonis has tried working as a singles performer. Time will tell whether the recent teasers are a hint towards a bright future for Adonis in WWE.
