10 New Directions For WWE After Hell In A Cell 2022
8. WWE Moves On From ‘Ezekiel Is Elias’
Right, enough of this.
Kevin Owens trying to "expose" Ezekiel as Elias isn't too interesting, being brutally honest. It didn't help the story to have KO beat Zeke clean at HIAC either; that shouldn't have happened unless there was some pre-agreed stip about Ezekiel admitting his true identity, or something.
WWE will likely keep things ticking along on Raw, but they shouldn't. Owens still needs rewarded for playing punching bag to 'Stone Cold' at WrestleMania too, although some may argue that facing Austin in the main event of 'Mania was a reward itself. That's fair, but...meh, this has been a crap follow up tale.
Ezekiel deserves the chance to just get on with having decent matches and developing a brand new personality that has nothing to do with his old guitar-playing one. Similarly, Kev badly needs to start focusing his attention elsewhere every Monday night.
There's no desire to see these dudes have another PPV match, put it that way.
