Former WWE Talent Elias Explains How Ezekiel Was ‘A Complete Vince McMahon Idea’ Despite the fact that Elias’s original guitar-playing role worked wonderfully for him on WWE’s main roster, the company decided to make a significant adjustment by having him play two different versions of himself, in addition to portraying his “younger brother” Ezekiel.
The legendary former CEO of WWE was still in charge of the creative direction of the company at the time, and Elias disclosed to “Monopoly Events” that the Ezekiel character was a “complete Vince McMahon idea.”
“There was a period of time here where the boss really got into Elias, and he said, ‘I’m going to make you the next guy,'” stated Elias in response.
We said, “Okay, we are coming back, we are going to get a new look, and we are going to get new gear, and as I was doing that, he was like, ‘Hey, let’s just go the whole way with it.'”

He then pulled the guitar away for a short period of time. Let’s shave the beard and clean up the hair; otherwise, we are going to provide an entirely different presentation.'”
According to Elias, who is now working under the ring name Elijah after being released by WWE in December, McMahon thought he looked like a completely different person when he did modify his appearance as he had requested during the time.

“When the boss is excited, you’re going to be excited ,because it seems like some fun things could go down,” remarked Elias in response.
“My whole thing with wrestling and WWE is like, I am always going to make the best of whatever situation I am put in, and hope that opportunities come and flow from that.”
