Why Elias Hasn’t Been Wrestling On WWE SmackDown

Elias made his return to WWE television, but he’s pretty much kept things backstage for now. He seems to have Dana Brooke tagging along with him as his groupie, but WWE hasn’t involved him in an actual angle yet.

Fightful Select noted that Elias is “completely cleared” for in-ring action. At this time WWE is simply using him as a backstage character.

Elias wrestled Dolph Ziggler at the December 12th house show in Green Bay Wisconsin’s Resch Center. Elias won that December 12th match as well and worked as a babyface.

We’ll have to see what’s next for Elias, but he’s absolutely ready to wrestle a match if they can figure out an opponent for him.
