This week’s edition of Friday Night SmackDown was stacked with major segments and matches. It seems due to time constraints, WWE yet again excluded a segment from the show. However, it was later featured in a WWE-exclusive video on social media.
WWE SmackDown features some of the best tag-teams and one more has been added to the list. Following last night’s WWE SmackDown, it was revealed that two superstars have been repackaged as tag team partners and they were none other than former Hit Row member Ashante ‘Thee’ Adonis and former WWE Cruiserweight Champion Cedric Alexander.
A few weeks back in a segment on SmackDown, Adonis spoke with SmackDown GM Nick Aldis regarding an idea that would get him back on TV. Well this might be that idea.
Ashante ‘Thee’ Adonis and Cedric Alexander bring threat to tag-team division
In a video clip posted on WWE’s official Twitter/X account, it was revealed that Ashante ‘Thee’ Adonis and Cedric Alexander have formed a tag team and put the whole tag-team division on notice.

As per Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful, Cedric Alexander and Ashante “Thee” Adonis, were scheduled for a vignette on the show. However, it was cut from the show for unknown reasons.
Adonis had been a member of Hit Row with Top Dolla but the former has been on a singles run after the latter was released by WWE in September 2023. Meanwhile, another former member of Hit Row, B-Fab recently joined forces with Bobby Lashley-led group that includes the Street Profits as well.
Speaking about, Cedric Alexander, he was drafted to SmackDown in November, but hasn’t been on TV since two straight losses to Dragon Lee that month. He has some tag-team experience when he was part of The Hurt Business alongside MVP and Shelton Benjamin and the group was led by Bobby Lashley.
