Elias set to return on next week’s WWE Raw

The return of Elias has been announced for the October 17 WWE Raw. 

Elias last appeared as the Elias character on the June 20 Raw in a series of segments playing on his “brother” Ezekiel’s feud with Kevin Owens. Owens went on to defeat Ezekiel on the August 8 Raw, and Ezekiel was written out of the show after taking a powerbomb on the apron from Owens. 

Elias was last a regular WWE character in the Summer of 2021. After feuding with Jaxson Ryker, Elias lost a Symphony of Destruction match to Ryker on the July 19, 2021 Raw. The next month, a series of videos aired where Elias burned his guitar, seemingly killing off the character. 

Elias returned as Ezekiel, Elias’s younger brother, on the April 4, 2022 Raw. 

Another potential segment for next week’s Raw will involve Brock Lesnar and Bobby Lashley. 

Lesnar returned to WWE television for the first time since SummerSlam on Monday’s Raw, attacking Lashley. Later in the show, Lashley challenged Lesnar to appear on next week’s Raw to answer for his actions, but Lesnar was not officially announced for the show.
