One of wrestling's most handsome families must've been devastated on 21 September 2023. Both brilliant sons Elias and Ezekiel were let go by WWE on the same day. At least we'll always have that picture of them together that blew everyone's minds collectively.

Goodbye, Zeke. We hardly knew ye.

Elias once threatened to become a top-tier player on the roster, but always seemed to fall just short when it mattered most. He was definitely over for a spell, although banner matches were few and far between regardless of who he shared the ring with.

WWE will always stand for "Walk With Elias". Just saying.
