Ashante "Thee" Adonis Issues Open Challenge For Tonight's 205 Live Episode, Updated Line-Up

By Marc Middleton

Ever-Rise and Ashante "Thee" Adonis will also be in action on tonight's WWE 205 Live episode.

WWE just announced that Ever-Rise will be in tag team action tonight against unknown opponents. They lost a 205 Live fan vote earlier today to determine who will face Joaquin Wilde and Raul Mendoza of Legado del Fantasma in tonight's main event. That poll was won by Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch. WWE NXT Cruiserweight Champion Santos Escobar will be at ringside to support Wilde and Mendoza.

Adonis, the former Tehuti Miles, has issued an open challenge to the cruiserweight veterans of the 205 Live locker room, as seen in the video below. He has recent losses to The Brian Kendrick and Ariya Daivari, but the storyline is that Adonis is looking to get a big win over a veteran Superstar.

Tonight's WWE 205 Live episode will air live on the WWE Network, from The ThunderDome at the Amway Center in Orlando, right after SmackDown on FOX goes off the air. Below is WWE's full announcement on tonight's show, along with the related backstage videos:

Ever-Rise, Adonis to compete on must-see edition of the purple brand

In addition to a blockbuster main event that pits Oney Lorcan & Danny Burch against Joaquin Wilde & Raul Mendoza of Legado del Fantasma, 205 Live will also feature Ever-Rise competing in a tag team match and Ashante "Thee" Adonis looking for a singles bout against another veteran.

After being savagely pummeled by Legado del Fantasma during their tag team match against The Brit-Am Brawlers last week, Chase Parker & Matt Martel missed out on the opportunity to gain retribution when they lost a fan vote to determine who would battle Wilde & Mendoza tonight, a poll which was won by Lorcan & Burch.

Nevertheless, after catching a beatdown from Legado del Fantasma, Ever-Rise will certainly have a chip on their shoulders when they step between the ropes for a tag team collision tonight.

Adonis, who has been mired in a bit of a losing streak, believes he needs to alter his approach to get back in the win column. Despite recent defeats to The Brian Kendrick and Ariya Daivari, the brash young Superstar is looking for a match against another seasoned veteran that can bring the best out of him tonight.

What will happen when Ever-Rise hit the squared circle for a tag bout? Will Adonis earn a victory and the fresh start that he so desperately craves? Find out on The Most Exciting Hour of Television, streaming on the award-winning WWE Network tonight at 10/9 C!
