Former WWE Star Reinvents Himself in a Darker Role
Summary
– Elijah, formerly known as Elias, has signed with AEW/ROH
– He joins The Righteous, led by Vincent and Dutch
– His transformation signals a new chapter away from his WWE persona
Elijah, previously known as Elias in WWE, has officially signed with AEW/ROH, marking a major shift in his career. Now aligned with The Righteous, the enigmatic faction led by Vincent and Dutch, he has embraced a much darker presence.
According to reports, Elijah debuted with the group in a cryptic video, shedding his past as WWE’s guitar-playing drifter. The eerie promo ended with a chilling invitation: “Who wants to run with The Righteous Ones?” His in-ring debut with the faction occurred during the Jericho Cruise, further solidifying his place in their ranks.
Tony Khan’s continued investment in ROH suggests long-term plans for the brand, and Elijah’s signing indicates that it remains a key part of AEW’s expansion. His transformation into a more ominous character sets the stage for what could be an unpredictable and compelling run in his new home.
