"I watched him growing up" - Ezekiel on WWE Legend's influence on him
Elias' younger brother, Ezekiel, talked about his current run with the company and opened up about a WWE legend who influenced him and his older brother.
Ezekiel made a memorable debut on RAW after WrestleMania 38 when he interrupted Kevin Owens. The star has picked a couple of victories since he made his first appearance. Unfortunately, his winning streak came to an end at the hands of Owens and The Alpha Academy on the May 2nd edition of WWE RAW.
On this week's edition of WWE's The Bump, Ezekiel opened up about his current run in the company:
''I gotta give some credit to Elias," said Ezekiel. "He at least created an avenue for me to walk through. You know you walk with Elias so that Zeke can run. I am getting to interact with all these WWE Superstars. It's a dream come true. I have thought about it since I was little Zeke.'' [30:50 - 31:13]
A stallion.
A nightmare.
A younger brother.
A goat.

Zeke went on to describe how Randy Orton influenced him and his brother when they were growing up.
''Man, speaking with Randy," he added. "Knowing that I watched him growing up. Me and y brother. In fact, Randy was a huge reason that me and my brother both wanted to become WWE Superstars... It was a dream come true.'' [31:18 - 31:31]
Ezekiel gives an update on Elias' whereabouts
Hey guys, since Elias is gone, I’ll be taking over his Twitter, I’m his younger brother - Ezekiel! twitter.com/WWE/status/151…
Ezekiel might be new to the members of the WWE Universe, but many fans remember his brother. Elias was last seen almost a year ago, when different vignettes hinting at the end of his career.
In the same interview, Elias' younger brother was asked by the WWE Universe about his brother's whereabouts. In response, he guessed that Elias is doing some soul-searching.
"You know, it's not like I talk to him all the time," he said. "If you guys remember, Elias has been kinda of a drifter, you know. He comes in and out and you never really know what he's gonna do. If I had to guess, he's out there, you know, doing a little bit of soul searching, little bit of music playing at a bar. He must be doing shows. I haven't talked to him all that recently but that's my guess." [31:54 - 32:19]
Time will tell whether Elias will make his way back to WWE. For now, his brother is quickly becoming a bright star on WWE RAW.
