10 WWE Wrestlers Who Are In Big Trouble

WWE managed to capture the most unexpected of lightnings in a bottle with the debut of a certain Ezekiel on the Raw after WrestleMania 38.

What came next showed that, given the right material, the star formerly known as Elias actually held the unlikely potential to genuinely get over as a surprisingly loveable babyface; one that came equipped with an alarmingly hot tag and reserves of charm never fully explored under his guitar-strumming guise.

So, what did Triple H opt to do the second he seized control of his father-in-law's former kingdom?

Murder the fun and revert Zeke back to his rather stale strumming ways.

Is there really much life left in the Elias character as a genuinely compelling gimmick? He currently finds himself knocking around with Matt Riddle and will no doubt stab the oblivious stoner in the back (or nail him with his instrument) before too long. But then what?

Drifting back into the creative wilderness wouldn't be all that surprising and feels depressingly inevitable. Or maybe The Game will finally see sense and bring back his far more entertaining younger brother.
