• Will Elias Return For WrestleMania 38?
RAW Superstar Elias’ musician gimmick ended in 2021. WWE aired vignettes which showed him burning his Guitar.
WWE Officials were working on Elias’ new character and they came up with a new look, but he reportedly looked too similar to “Macho Man” Randy Savage, so they nixed that character.
Here’s what Wrestlevotes reported:
“Interesting note on Elias, source states they had no end plan for graveyard vignettes. Just shot them to kill off the ‘music’ gimmick.
His initial rebranding weeks back looked too similar to Randy Savage w/ colorful trunks & beard so Vince & co didn’t like it. Back to square 1.”
There are still no plans for Elias returning to WWE programming, not even for WrestleMania 38. A tenured member of the WWE creative team told RSN the following:
“I don’t remember the last time his name came up. It’s been so long.”
