10 WWE Stars Who Have Gone AWOL

OK, so you know what happened to two of the other folks in that picture above.

Top Dolla got released from his contract in September, and B-FAB has been on and off hanging around with Bobby Lashley and The Street Profits on SmackDown. That leaves fellow Hit Row alumni Ashante 'Thee' Adonis. Where-oh-where is the most visibly talented member of the overlooked group?

Adonis last worked on TV for the 28 July edition of SmackDown. There, he stared at the lights in approx 90 seconds for rising star LA Knight, and he's been working a string of house show bouts and dark matches ever since. Clearly, WWE's writers are weighing up what to do with Ashante post-Hit Row.

Anything on telly would be better than twiddling his thumbs in catering. It's a bit crap for Adonis that he's the one struggling to push his way onto SmackDown even after being the best thing about the remodelled Hit Row in 2022 and 2023.

Give him a chance on his own, please.
