WWE wrestler announces departure from company
Tehuti Miles, aka Ashante “Thee” Adonis, is no longer with WWE.
He posted a statement to social media on Sunday revealing that his WWE chapter has closed.
Adonis wrote:
“After 6 unforgettable years under the WWE lights, the time has come for me to close that chapter. I’m filled with nothing but gratitude for every opportunity, the experiences, lessons, and incredible talent I’ve had the chance to work with. I’m truly excited to show the world what I can really do. Sometimes you gotta get off multiplayer and progress your story mode. I believe i’m the face of the future and the reason your girl stopped texting you back
This is a brand new beginning. I am becoming the best version of myself. You have only seen a glimpse of my true potential, and im just scratching the surface. I know that to some this can be a dark time, but stars can’t shine without darkness. – Thee Adonis Out For bookings, please contact me here: Tehutimgmt@theparagontg.com”
Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp later reported that Adonis’ WWE contract expired rather than him being released. It’s the second time he has left the company. As a member of Hit Row, he was released in late 2021 before returning the following year.
Prior to signing with WWE in 2019, Adonis wrestled for Maryland Championship Wrestling as well as Ring of Honor under the name Elijah King. He also served in the United States Army from 2008 to 2013, completing tours in Afghanistan in 2010 and 2011. After leaving the Army, he attended the University of Maryland and made the school’s Division 1 football team as a walk-on running back.
Adonis’ last match was a loss to Ricky Saints on the June 24 edition of NXT.
