Elias makes his return on RAW; Attacks Jeff Hardy

Elias hasn't been seen in WWE in quite some time. The Drifter was unfortunately injured before he could advance in SmackDown's Intercontinental Championship Tournament that was conducted a few months ago.

Storyline-wise, Elias was taken out by a car accident caused by Sheamus, framing Jeff Hardy. It was to cover an actual pectoral tear that he had to get repaired. Following surgery, he was expected to be out for at least six months. The Drifter surprised the WWE Universe tonight when he made his early return and attacked Jeff Hardy on RAW.

Rollins originally came out to address the WWE Universe ahead of his departure to SmackDown. However, he was confronted by Styles and Hardy and the three men engaged in a big brawl. The Charismatic Enigma decided to settle things inside the ring as he challenged both men to a Triple Threat match.

Hardy was poised to pin AJ Styles but was hit from behind by Elias with his guitar. This allowed Styles to get the win on RAW.
