Proving the Ezekiel character is not going away anytime soon, WWE introduced his entire family on Raw this past Monday night. There was talk that maybe with some characters in WWE getting a reimaging under Triple H and with Ezekiel being taken out by Kevin Owens last week that he might be among them, it's become quite clear that is not the plan. In fact, WWE seems to be going all in on Elias/Ezekiel playing multiple characters and his family having multiple members.

WWE announcers talked about the injuries sustained by Ezekiel at the hands of Kevin Owens and then showed a photo of him in a hospital bed surrounded by his family. His father, Ernie Jr. had a message for Owens threatening harm if he ever got his hands on the Prize Fighter. WWE then posted that same photo on social media and mentioned that some of the people in the photo had names but asked WWE to name the rest. While Ezekiel, Elias, and Ernie Jr. are clearly the names of three, there is also what looks to be a mother/grandmother, a young boy, and possibly the other brother (rumored to be Elrod).
How Far Does WWE Plan To Go?
While the photo is quite funny and it will make for interesting chatter as fans try to name all the members of the family, what exactly is WWE's end game here? Is this something they plan to run with after Ezekiel is healthy and WWE will show different characters showing up at different times on TV? Clearly they're aware that outside of some special effects, they won't be able to have all the members of the family in the ring at the same time.
This is good for a few laughs, but then what? Is the plan to keep adding family members? Will some of them wrestle? Is Ernie Jr. really planning to go after Kevin Owens?
