After a long hiatus since August of last year, Elias return during a previous episode of Monday Night RAW, as Elias came back as his younger brother Ezekiel. After that, a series of amusing events unfolded.
Eventually, Ezekiel was written off WWE television after Triple H took over as he did not like the gimmick whatsoever. Afterwards, Elias was away from WWE television so he could grow out his beard again.
Finally, Elias made his return on this week’s episode of Monday Night RAW. During Seth Rollins’ match against Matt Riddle, Elias had a brief scuffle with Rollins after Rollins hit him with a sucker punch.
It was made clear that Elias will be coming for Rollins. While speaking with Cathy Kelley on RAW Talk, Elias warned the United States Champion that he would not forget what happened during the show.
“Riddle came out, he interrupted. I mean, he’s a good kid and his heart was in the right place, but wrong time”, said Elias. “And then Seth, the whole thing. I wanted this to be a night that myself and the WWE Universe would never forget. But unfortunately for Seth, I’m not going to forget what he did to me tonight.”
We will have to wait and see how Elias will be booked in the coming weeks. Fans are simply glad to see The Drifter back on WWE television in the end.
