Need his theme next time he shows up (next week, of course, but I would be happy if he also shows up tonight on NXT, tomorrow on Dynamite, and Friday on both Smackdown and Rampage) to open with a guitar strum and him saying "Hello, I am Elias....'s younger brother, Ezekiel"

How about the fact that he's the younger brother of someone who was only 4 years old and looks like THAT? Amazing genes in that family.

Soon Elias will return and the brothers will be rebranded as "The Music Experience"

I just realized this explains Butch as well. He's really Pete Dunne's younger brother and not Pete Dunne himself.
MY GOODNESS, IT'S GONNA BE YOUNGERBROTHERMANIA NEXT YEAR.

So either this ends up being hilarious and a huge hit or completely fails and Elias is released within months, right? I don't really see there being any middle ground here.

So... they couldn't have two guitar guy gimmicks going a the same time?
Imagine the Battle of the Bands feud-ender you could have gotten (with guest judges Maxx Payne and Van Hammer).

Every time I get a WWE 2k game. One of the first things I do is take the Undertaker, Kane or Roman Reigns, etc and give them pink trunks as alternative attire. Then I play the game and go "LMAO, Undertaker is wearing pink. It's funny because Undertaker always wears black and now he's wearing pink. LOLOLOL!!!"
So basically someone in WWE creative decided to do this in real life to Elias. They basically went "Hey, you know how Elias is this rocker guy, with a beard, jeans and flannel? What if we had him shave and wear pink trunks! LMAO!!!"

And this isn't the first time it's happened. Remember when Cesaro had his gimmick changed to yodelling because they decided to give a push to Jack Swagger, who then made a hash of it?

Ezekiel: Daddy?
Kevin Owens: Next door, jackass. *Bails out of ring*

The fans chanting “WE WANT EZEKIEL” during the Breaker match was the highlight of NXT.

Didn't he have body hair as Elias, as well as a beard? Dear God, the maintenance needed to keep that up....

Apparently internally Ezekiel is listed as a face, which is mindblowing to me because this concept really only even theoretically works as a delusional heel.

Sort of realizing that my problem with this angle is…what happens when he’s back to being Elias? He’s just Elias again?
Like, the easy comparison is with Joe Park and Abyss but Joe Park was pretty much the opposite of Abyss in every way possible. The way he worked, his personality, how he acted and spoke. By all accounts, Ezekiel is Elias but not a heel and more generic so, outside of Owens trying to prove they’re both the same person, that dynamic just isn’t there.

The real issue here is that we won't get to hear Elias doing 'Wonderwall'.
