10 Wrestlers Wasting Their Life In WWE

"Who wants to walk with Elias?" could be rethought as, "Where the ever-living f*ck is Elias?!". The one-time music man who encouraged fans to turn off phones and shut their mouths hasn't been on TV since burning his guitar last summer. Unlike Asuka, he didn't take time off to heal injuries.

Nope, Eli just disappeared.

Rumours of a gimmick overhaul were spoiled when McMahon pointed out that he sorta/kinda/maybe looked a little bit like Randy Savage in his new trunks. If that's the overseer's only reason for keeping Elias in creative no man's land for eight long months, then... bloody hell.

How long can this drag on for? Will WWE give Elias the Veer treatment by running endless vignettes for his return across a matter of months? An uninjured wrestler has been doing exactly nothing for almost three quarters of a calendar year, and there's no sign of him popping up again any time soon.

That's a waste.
