“WresteMania is coming up and plenty of fans are talking about plans and returns. It might be best not to get your hopes up about Elias. We were told that he’s in ‘creative purgatory’ and a tenured member of the team said, ‘I don’t remember the last time his name came up.'”

Elias is in the WWE2K22 game and a graphic showed him with different ring gear which was apparently part of his rebranding. It was previously reported that Vince McMahon did not like the change.
