Elijah (Elias) has made his return to wrestling. He is no longer with WWE after his tenure from 2014-2023, as he was released in September. Initially, he started in NXT using the ring name Elias Samson, portraying himself as a musician.
In late 2021, Elias took a break and returned the following April, but this time as his younger brother Ezekiel. He transformed by cutting his hair and shaving his beard. However, he was again taken off TV that year and later returned as Elias.
Elias wrestled his first post-WWE match for Wrestling REVOLVER at their Whatashow event on Saturday night, where he wrestled TNA’s “Speedball” Mike Bailey for the first time ever.

After his release from WWE in September 2023, Elijah, also known as Elias, has made his return to the wrestling world. Elias had been with WWE since 2014, but his tenure came to an end last year. However, he wasted no time in getting back into the ring and showcasing his talent.
Elias initially started his wrestling career in NXT, WWE’s developmental brand, using the ring name Elias Samson. During this time, he portrayed himself as a musician, incorporating his guitar-playing skills into his character. This unique persona helped him stand out among the roster and gain attention from fans.
In late 2021, Elias took a break from wrestling and made a surprising return the following April. However, this time he appeared as his younger brother Ezekiel, completely transforming his look by cutting his hair and shaving his beard. This change in appearance added an element of mystery and intrigue to his character. Unfortunately, Elias was once again taken off TV that year.
But now, Elias is back and ready to make an impact. He recently wrestled his first post-WWE match for Wrestling REVOLVER at their Whatashow event on Saturday night. This event marked a significant moment for Elias as he faced off against TNA’s “Speedball” Mike Bailey for the first time ever. The match was met with great enthusiasm from the audience and received positive feedback from wrestling fans.
A tweet from Dark Puroresu Flowsion praised Elias’s performance, describing it as “COLD as F*CK.” The tweet also included a video clip of Elias in action during the match. This positive reception is a promising start for Elias as he embarks on his journey in the independent wrestling scene.
Elias’s return to wrestling after his departure from WWE demonstrates his passion and dedication to the sport. It also showcases his versatility as a performer, being able to adapt and evolve his character to keep fans engaged. With his talent and experience, it will be interesting to see where Elias’s career takes him next.
As he continues to make a name for himself in the wrestling world, fans eagerly await Elias’s future matches and appearances. Whether he remains in the independent circuit or eventually signs with another major promotion, there is no doubt that Elias’s return has reignited excitement among wrestling enthusiasts.
