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 WWE 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.

In late 2021, Elias took a break from wrestling and made a comeback the following April, but this time as his younger brother Ezekiel. To transform his character, he cut his hair and shaved his beard. However, he was once again taken off TV later that year and eventually returned as Elias.

Leaving WWE can often be seen as a turning point in a wrestler’s career, allowing them to explore new opportunities and showcase their abilities in different promotions.
