RAW Superstar Elias has been missing for weeks. He took a sabbatical in order to get repackaged before returning. It was said that WWE was high on The Drifter and that he would get a push upon his return.

However, the idea of his return seems to have been dropped for now because of his 'new look' is very similar to that of the late Randy Savage. WrestleVotes reported that his repackaged look had bright colours and looked very similar to The Macho Man.

Interesting note on Elias, source states they had no end plan for graveyard vignettes. Just shot them to kill off the “music” gimmick. His initial rebranding weeks back looked to similar to Randy Savage w/ colorful trunks & beard so Vince & co didn’t like it. Back to square 1.

Last week on RAW, Carmella suffered a hard hit from Rhea Ripley during the 5-on-5 tag team match. The women's tag team champion was checked out backstage and was reportedly fine despite an injury scare.
