WWE RAW Tag Team Splits Up On Last Night's Episode Of RAW

Submitted by David Draiman on

Elias and Jaxson Ryker came out on the losing end of the RAW Tag Team Title Match during last night's show after Elias betrayed his tag team partner by opting not to tag in and leaving Jaxson to fend for himself. Styles and Omos then finished off Ryker, with Elias looking on from the stage. Prior to last night's RAW Tag Team Title Match, it looked like Elias and Ryker were on the same page as they pumped and hyped each other up.

Elias was then interviewed backstage by Kevin Patrick after the match and was asked why he left Ryker by himself in the ring.

Elias said:

“Listen, Jaxson Ryker has become unhinged.” “OK, when he came to me, he wanted to walk with me. He knew if he opened himself up to my genius, and I took all of his attributes and incredible strength, I could mold him into something special, but last week when I was in danger, he was running away from Elias. He was looking out for himself. His priorities are just all out of whack.”

Elias then said that he does not want to be around Ryker anymore and the idea of traveling with Ryker makes him sick.

Elias said:

“Listen, Jaxson Ryker’s a veteran and I respect that 100%.” “He’s an incredible athlete, and his strength & stamina, it’s through the roof, but he’s unpredictable and that’s what worries me. Now listen, we’re very close to getting back on the road, live shows with millions of people wanting to ‘Walk With Elias’ but the idea of sitting in a car, going town to town for hours at a time, next to Jaxson Ryker, makes me sick, and I don’t want to be around him anymore.”

A poll was even put up by Elias, where fans were asked if he did the right thing, which out of 7,089 votes, 48.4% said yes and 51.6% said of course you did.

There is no word yet on what the WWE has planned for Ryker and Elias moving forward, but updates will be provided as it becomes available.
