10 Gimmick Changes To Save Wrestlers' Careers RIGHT NOW
7. Elias (BRING BACK EZEKIEL!)
In what ultimately turned out to be one of 2022's most unexpected success stories, the arrival of Elias' younger brother went from head-scratching development to routine Raw highlight at a frankly ridiculous pace.
Fully leaning into the surreal situation that saw Ezekiel regularly confessing to most definitely not being a beardless Elias, the genuinely hilarious exchanges between the red show's newest babyface hero and a simply perplexed Kevin Owens made for absolute TV gold.
But because Triple H seemingly wasn't the biggest fan of this particular light-hearted personality, KO did precisely that to Zeke back in August and his far less interesting older brother eventually picked right back up where he left off.
Sure enough, it didn't take that long for Elias to return to his strumming ways of old and once again become just another body on the Raw roster to be taken down by the folks The Game really wanted to get behind.
At a time when mid-card babyfaces fans truly want to root for aren't exactly growing on trees, though, the tassel wearing legend finally returning from injury could definitely add more to the Raw machine than an Elias gimmick that hasn't felt compelling for years.
