As previously reported, Ashante “Thee” Adonis (Tehuti Miles) announced on Sunday that he has left WWE.
According to Fightful Select, this decision stems from Adonis' contract not being renewed rather than a release from WWE. As a result, he is now free to accept bookings with other companies. The report also noted that Adonis was among several talents brought back to WWE in the summer of 2022, many of whom signed three-year contracts. Many of those contracts are nearing their expiration date, with some already having been released.
Sources within WWE indicated that Adonis was informed a few weeks ago that his contract would not be renewed. Despite being moved to NXT, he remained under a main roster contract.
Adonis received a lot of praise during his time in NXT for his continuous efforts to improve, often training on his own in addition to his work at the Performance Center. Several names in TNA Wrestling have already expressed interest in working with him.
