During Monday Night Raw, WWE aired a vignette that appears to be the start of a repackaging for Elias.
Elias was shown walking in a field with a guitar in his hand. At the end of the vignette, he was shown tossing guitar into a fire pit.
A voice was heard at the end and it said, “WWE stood for Walk With Elias but Elias is dead.”
This is apparently an attempt to repackage him into a new character. It’s unclear what exactly they have in store for him or when he will make his re-debut.
Elias was recently in a feud with Jaxson Ryker. Ryker won the feud after defeating Elias in a Symphony of Destruction match on the Raw after SummerSlam.
