10. Elias = Repackaged Again?

Hello, he is...Ezekiel?

That re-debut for the artist formerly known as Elias fell flat. WWE don't tend to ride early hiccups like this out either, so they'll probably knee-jerk, take the dude off TV, let him grow out the beard again and bring back the guitar. Being honest, that might be for the best.

It's hard to see this bland repackage job flying with live crowds. Fans on Raw already showed the way by trolling the sh*t out of it, and WWE can't be happy with that. Letting audiences rip the p*ss out of a freshly-rethought act definitely isn't sustainable long-term, and that could cost Zeke.

His first segment back opposite Kevin Owens was a miss. It didn't even help KO; he was coming off a hot match with Steve Austin at WrestleMania, and this is how they followed up on it? The whole "Elias' younger brother" thing has a maximum shelf life of three weeks too.
