Rumor Roundup: The Plans For The Reigns-Lesnar Feud, Elias’ New Gimmick, More

3) Backstage Note On Elias’ New Gimmick

According to @Wrestlevotes, Vince McMahon felt that Elias’ new gimmick looked too similar to Randy Savage. This led to WWE changing up this gimmick.

Here is what the account Tweeted:

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.

My Take:

  • Elias is a talented guy, so I hope he gets to do something soon. I feel like they should have just kept his old gimmick as it was working.

2) The Main Event Of WWE Day 1

According to Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline, Brock Lesnar vs Roman Reigns is currently penciled in to be the main event of the Day 1 PPV.

My Take:
