Finn Balor and Damian Priest, collectively known as The Judgment Day, have enjoyed a successful run as the holders of the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship.
However, the tag team division is about to witness an increase in competition, as a new tag team emerged on the scene following the latest episode of SmackDown.
WWE’s official social media handle released an exclusive clip featuring Ashante ‘Thee’ Adonis and Cedric Alexander, confirming their alliance as a tag team.
In the video, Ashante and Cedric expressed their determination to make a mark in the tag team division, signaling a fresh addition to the competitive landscape. Ashante hinted at the possibility of adopting the team name “Rags and Riches,” although no official confirmation has been provided.
The formation of this new tag team generated significant buzz among fans, especially considering the individual talents of Ashante ‘Thee’ Adonis and Cedric Alexander.

Both wrestlers had previously expressed their desire for more opportunities, and now, as a united force, they are poised to leave their mark on the tag team scene.
Ashante Thee Adonis had recently confronted Nick Aldis in a backstage segment, advocating for increased opportunities. The duo of Ashante and Cedric had previously joined forces in a Dark Match in December, securing victory over Pretty Deadly.
Meanwhile, amid the growing competition in the tag team division, Rhea Ripley from The Judgment Day addressed the recent tensions within the faction.
She reassured fans that despite occasional conflicts, the members of The Judgment Day, especially her longstanding friendship with Damian Priest, remain strong.
Rhea emphasized that their disagreements are part of the dynamics within any close-knit group and asserted that the faction is not on the verge of breaking up.
In the upcoming Elimination Chamber event, Damian Priest and Finn Balor will defend their Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championships against Tyler Bate and Pete Dunne, adding another layer of excitement to the tag team division. Additionally, Rhea Ripley is scheduled to face Nia Jax in a singles match at the same event.
