Jaxson Ryker emerged during tonight’s WWE Main Event tapings, aligning himself with Elias.
A tweet shortly before Raw started showed Elias and Ryker together during tonight’s Main Event tapings. According to a report on Fightful Select, Ryker’s appearance on Main Event is seen as a ‘dry run’ in order to see if the pairing worked.
Ryker had not been seen on television since May. After he and the rest of the Forgotten Sons debuted following WrestleMania 36, they were taken off television after Ryker voiced support for President Donald Trump on social media during the George Floyd protests earlier this year, which led to several upset people in WWE to respond.
Steve Cutler and Wesley Blake, who were also taken off television, were brought back this past Friday on SmackDown. They helped King Corbin even the odds against Murphy and the Mysterio family, helping Corbin score a win over Murphy on the show.
