WWE News & Rumor Roundup: Ex-Champion gets called "annoying," Backstage note on the Charlotte Flair situation, Sasha Banks' bold claim (October 25, 2021)

#1 Reason why Ashante 'Thee' Adonis didn't wrestle on WWE SmackDown

Members of Hit Row - Top Dolla, Isaiah ‘Swerve’ Scott, Ashante 'Thee' Adonis, and B-Fab - debuted on WWE SmackDown last week. Scott and Top Dolla wrestled in a tag team match against local competitors while Adonis and B-Fab watched from ringside.

On Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer stated that Ashante is not medically cleared to wrestle at the moment. He doesn't know for how long the superstar will remain out of in-ring action.

"Ashante has a medical condition. I don’t know how much longer until he’s going to be able to wrestle, but he was there," Meltzer said.

A previous report by PWInsider highlighted that WWE wanted to showcase Isaiah 'Swerve' Scott and Ashante 'Thee' Adonis as a duo while pushing Top Dolla as a solo superstar. It will be interesting to see if that turns out to be the on-screen direction for Hit Row once Adonis returns to action.
