5 possible storylines for Elias' return to WWE

#4 Feud with Shorty G

Shorty G needs a new opponent

Over the past few weeks, WWE has pushed Shorty G (formerly known as Chad Gable) in the SmackDown mid-card. The former SmackDown Tag Team Champion has grown into an important part of the Blue brand and is now a part of Team SmackDown at Survivor Series. Shorty G had even made it to the final of the King of the Ring tournament. He had a brief feud with King Corbin post that tournament.

WWE often books the return of an injured Superstar on the fallout episode of a big pay-per-view. Hence, they can restart the feud between Elias and Shorty G on the 29th November episode of SmackDown.

The former American Alpha member is a natural babyface while Elias knows how to play the role of a heel. Thus, this feud can help both the Superstars in the picture while it will also benefit the mid-card of the ‘B’ show.

To make matters more interesting, WWE could later involve some rewards in this feud like the winner of their PPV match would earn a shot at the Intercontinental Championship.
