A number of surprising names have been released from WWE in recent years. Elias had been with WWE since 2014, but his run with the company officially came to an end when he was released from his contract in September of 2024.
Following his release from WWE, Elias returned to the independent circuit using the name Elijah. Earlier this week Elijah got the wrestling world talking when he shared a vignette showing that he had formed an alliance with Vincent and Dutch of The Righteous.

The Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that Elijah has signed with All Elite Wrestling, and the plan is for him to be part of ROH. It was noted Tony Khan is still signing people for ROH which seems to indicate that he hasn’t given up on securing a media rights deal for the brand.
Stay tuned for updates.
