Elias returned to WWE during this year’s draft. He started a feud with Jeff Hardy as soon as he was back but he made sure not to spend his time off in vain. He came back to WWE with a new album named “Universal Truth,” which has garnered lots of appreciation so far.
The album recently shot to number one in Apple Music Soundtrack Charts, dethroning the likes of Hamilton, Frozen 2 and many more. Elias shared the achievement with a tweet –

Universal Truth includes four different tracks that sound wildly different from his first EP, Walk with Elias (2018). The Raw before Hell in a Cell saw Elias performing one song from the new album before Hardy interrupted him and attacked Elias with his own guitar.
After the massive success, Elias and R-Truth appeared on the post-event “Raw-talk” of Monday Night Raw and promoted the album some more.

Apart from his musical endeavors, Elias’ WWE career is kind of going through a rough patch. He won the Hell in a Cell match via disqualification after Jeff Hardy smashed his guitar on his back.

On this week’s RAW, he missed out on yet another opportunity. Keith Lee gave Elias his first loss of 2020, scoring a big assist when Hardy’s music played towards the end, allowing him to hit a Spirit Bomb for the win. Therefore, Elias could not qualify as a member of the RAW Survivor Series team.
