Kevin Owens appeared on this week’s episode of RAW and said that he had a back injury that led to his defeat against Steve Austin at WrestleMania. His promo was interrupted by a person who revealed himself as Elias’ younger brother Ezekiel.
Ezekiel looked exactly similar to Elias, just that he was clean-shaven and didn’t wear the jeans and carry a guitar like the former four-time WWE 24/7 champion. Instead, Elias wore the traditional wrestling trunks as he came out to confront Kevin Owens.
Kevin Owens looked as shocked as we were seeing Elias’ transformation. Owens asked where Elias had been all these days but the reply from Elias had everyone confused. He said, “I am not Elias. I am Elias’ younger brother. The name is Ezekiel.”
Owens called him a liar and said that he hates liars. Elias or we should say Ezekiel retorted saying that Owens should also hate himself if he hates liars. Ezekiel called out Owens for lying to Austin and getting his a** kicked by the Texas Rattlesnake at WrestleMania.
This made Owens furious as he gave Ezekiel ten seconds to leave the ring. It seemed as if the former WWE Universal champion would attack Ezekiel if he didn’t leave the ring by the count of 10. However, Ezekiel stood firm and as Owen counted to zero, he left the ring to loud boos from the crowd in attendance.
Twitter reactions to Elias’ return and the new gimmick
Fans were a bit confused at first but later there were trolls aplenty. They couldn’t believe how WWE could take away the old Elias gimmick and turn him into a gimmick of a stereotypical wrestler.
Elias used to receive decent cheers and jeers respectively during his runs as a face and a heel. Most of Elias’ run had him playing a heel but later on, he had become a face. He had a match with John Cena at WrestleMania and also a segment with The Undertaker during his first stint.
We will take a look at the Twitter reactions of the fans after Elias revealed himself as Ezekiel on this week’s episode of the red brand.
