It’s been a while since fans have seen Elias on TV as WWE started airing vignettes that seemingly promoted a gimmick change, but nothing ever came of it.t
The vignettes showed Elias throwing his signature guitar into a fire, and it also featured a voiceover which said, “WWE stood for Walk With Elias. But Elias is dead.”
WWE stopped airing the vignettes, but in the weeks that followed it was rumored that Elias would be returning to TV with a new look and a new gimmick. Now the WWE 2K22 roster page has posted an interesting photo of Elias as it shows him wearing brighter ring gear which can be seen below.
The 2K render of Elias for 2K22 has seemingly showed off the ‘Randy Savage-esque’ gear/gimmick he was supposed to debut last year.
