So uh... Elias is heel again

["Gizzark" Mike Wronglevenay]

He didn't turn, right? I don't watch weekly so was baffled when he did heelish shit at the Rumble.

What a disappointment. One of the first bona fide satisfying face turns in ages and it's already been undone.

He never really turned face, he just gave Corbin hell.
Now that he's giving Double J hell, he's heel.

It's Big Show/Kane easque, but whatever, I'm down for this Jarrett and Elias Mania program

Stupid heel turn, he was definitely a face, didn’t he team with Balor or another face at one point?

Not sure why some people are upset about this.

Elias was so close to becoming “corny face #6120”. Turning him back heel might have just saved his career before it was too late.

He beat JJ and Road Dogg

He is a face in my book

Makes sense. Ambrose is leaving so they have to get a new heel.

[fw91]

No he’s not. We just aren’t worthy.

This. Hasn't done a heel thing yet to me.

People's arguments about keeping him heel make sense, or turning him back.

But WWE has just decided to stop giving people big babyface turn moments for some reason. If you're not turning heel, then one week you just find yourself playing for the good guy side without any explanation.

NXT is definitely worse for it, mind, but WWE is pretty bad too.

Elias turned babyface by blasting a loathed heel with a guitar, something everybody was dying to see, and it got a huge pop. WWE has so few babyfaces that are worth getting behind, it was nice to see one that was at least not a moron.

I don't watch the weekly shows and only sometimes the highlights so I don't know what lame shit Elias has been doing but I enjoy crowd pops, and the pop for a beloved babyface is unlike any other - and WWE could really use some more beloved babyfaces given how much they're fumbling booking so many of that alignment.

[Magic knows Black Lives Matter]

I get that the character didn’t have much as a face but yeah, I’m disappointed they are already going back on a babyface turn. Sounds like last night’s show was another heel fest

[bmfjules]

In the same boat with the OP. Was digging the face turn, but don't watch weekly, and now apparently it "wasn't actually a face turn" and once again, nothing matters. Why bother getting behind anyone?

Braun, Balor and Elias vs Lashley, Corbin and McIntyre.

He also had matches against Jinder, a feud against Lashley, and spent half of December winning 3-on-1 handicap matches against Corbin, Lashley, and McIntyre.

It's bizarre, WWE seemed to be all in on Elias as a face, he's over huge, and then they just turn him heel for no apparent reason.

[Perfect Timing]

Now we have to watch him drone on and diss the audience for the next year.
