Before he could say too much, Elias’ younger brother, Ezekiel interrupted the interview. The world met Ezekiel last week, and he introduced himself to “The Blackheart.” Kevin Owens then got involved, still determined to prove that Ezekiel was actually Elias. He called Elias’ brother a liar, but Ciampa told him that he was mistaken, as they were standing next to Ezekiel. Owens then asked Ciampa why he would say such a thing and wondered whether he was the only one that was still sane.

Ciampa made multiple appearances on WWE RAW as part of Bron Breakker’s feud with Dolph Ziggler earlier this year. He faced Robert Roode on the February 28 episode, and he also teamed up with Breakker to defeat Ziggler and Roode on the March 7 episode. Previously, Ciampa joined forces with Finn Balor in a tag team bout on the February 21 episode; they also defeated Roode and Ziggler. Additionally, the former NXT Champion has competed in dark matches and on Main Event, including the April 11 taping, as well as the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal on WrestleMania SmackDown.
He last wrestled in NXT programming at the NXT Stand & Deliver event on April 2; he lost to Tony D’Angelo in what was his clear send-0ff.
