It has been a while since Elias last wrestled on WWE TV. The guitar-wielding star lost a “Symphony Of Destruction” match to Jaxson Ryker on the July 19, 2021 episode of RAW. Tonight, a vignette aired on the red brand hinting at a gimmick change for him.
The vignette started off with Elias walking with his guitar in his hands. As he approached a fire, several clippings of him being on the receiving end of guitar attacks from fellow WWE Superstars appeared. Elias then played a short tune and threw his guitar into the fire.
This could imply that the superstar is ready to let go of his current playful character and embrace a darker persona.
Elias’ new gimmick was long overdue
Lately, Elias has become an afterthought on the main roster. He was mostly used to put over other stars and returning legends. The recurring theme was that Elias would get interrupted in the midst of a musical performance in the ring by a legend and then get beaten up.
Elias has been interrupted and attacked by the likes of John Cena, The Undertaker, and Rey Mysterio. He has yet to win a major WWE title, but has won the 24/7 Championship on four occasions.
On the road to WrestleMania 35 in 2019, Elias talked about wanting to feud with someone like John Cena or The Undertaker.
Unfortunately, that didn’t happen. Instead, at WrestleMania that year, Elias was interrupted by Cena who donned the Thugonomics persona. Cena attacked Elias to a loud pop from the audience. The next night on RAW, it was The Undertaker’s turn to interrupt Elias, and the turn of events was predictable.
We hope this new gimmick helps Elias improve his standing on the WWE roster.
