6 things WWE subtly told us on SmackDown: Huge betrayal teased from popular star, Rivalry ends with weird stipulation match (January 31st, 2020)

#4 Elias is finally getting a feud?

Elias getting screamed at

After the Intercontinental Championship match, Sami Zayn was visibly furious along with an angry Cesaro and dejected Shinsuke Nakamura. At the wrong time, he was asked a question before hearing the strum of a guitar.

There was nobody else it could have been and as expected, Elias was in the ring ready to play a tune. However, he hardly got the chance to do so as Cesaro was sent out to take care of him.

It didn't work out well for Cesaro, who was booted out of the ring quickly. It looks like WWE is finally trying to do something with Elias. While he's a perfect act for live events and television, he was hardly given anything to work with other than being the "guitar guy" who's there on every show.

Even his last babyface run was cut short. For the first time in ages, WWE has decided to give Elias a proper feud and he could be aligned with other babyfaces in the future.
