There’s been some rumors about Dexter’s storyline direction, so we’ll see what’s
going on with him.
We’ll also see some of Triple H’s big changes with the Kevin Owens versus Ezekiel
story, Alexa Bliss theories, and more
Let’s start things off with Triple H’s immediate change that he brought to the Kevin
Owens versus Ezekiel storyline
Kevin Owens and Ezekiel have been feuding for just over 5 months now
The story had some great and entertaining moments, especially the night that Elias played
both characters to really mess with Kevin Owens
But then Owens was hurt for a few weeks, Ezekiel fell out of the show on Raw, and that storyline
just went to a complete stalemate
Nothing was going on with it anymore, no progress was being made, and everyone was unsure if
WWE would be continuing it or not
Well the august 8th edition of Raw gave us some closure and the final chapter in the
Kevin Owens versus Ezekiel storyline
The both of them were set to have a match with each other on Raw, but it would end in
a no contest after Kevin Owens brutally power bombed Ezekiel on the ring apron
Old school fans of NXT know that this was a signature moment that we would always see
from Kevin Owens
Some superstars have this rare move that they’ll use from time to time that just has a devastating
result and could be used to write someone off television for a while
One of those devastating moves is something like Randy Orton’s punt for example
Randy has been using that punt on rare occasions since the early 2010s, he even used it most
recently in 2020 on Ric Flair
Fans knew that when someone received a punt from Randy Orton, you weren’t gonna be seeing
that individual again for a long time
So same idea with Kevin Owens’ power-bomb move on the ring apron
This was a move that was constantly used during Kevin Owens’ NXT run and it would write
people off television for a long time
Kevin Owens did perform the ring apron power bomb on the main roster a few times, but it
went missing for a long time before we finally saw the move performed again on august 8th
to Ezekiel
And it looks like the situation is being handled the way it was back in NXT, this move will
write Ezekiel off for good and open the door wide open for a return from Elias
Reports did say that Ezekiel was strictly a Vince McMahon project, but with Vince no
longer leading creative, it looks like one of the quick changes made by Triple H was
to write the Ezekiel character off of television
Elias did say that he was going back on the road, but one of the last things he said before
he left was that he wanted everyone to look after his brother for him
So we don’t know what the story may be yet, but maybe that ring apron power bomb ended
Ezekiel’s in-ring career forever
That should lead to a furious Elias returning for Kevin Owens, that’s basically common
sense and something we just have to see because it basically writes itself and is right in
front of our faces
If Elias is coming back, he just can’t ignore what Kevin Owens did to his brother, Kevin
will be his first target for sure
So not only did this moment potentially change the route of Elias and Ezekiel’s characters,
but it also shifted Kevin Owens in a new direction
Kevin Owens technically did main event Wrestlemania 38, so we can’t look past that big accomplishment,
but since April, he’s been trapped in this comedic storyline with Ezekiel
So it looks like another one of those changes Triple H made was to end this little comedic
run for Kevin Owens and get him back on track of being this brutal force, take him back
to his prizefighter character and persona
So it was a quick little moment on Raw itself, but when you break it down like this, it actually
was a big moment that’s about to send both Kevin Owens and Elias in some even greater
new directions on Raw

Dexter’s return was done amazingly and was this slow build up throughout the night that
led to his actual arrival
But what can we actually expect from Dexter’s first main roster run?
Well reports claim that Dexter’s character will be very similar to his character from
his early NXT days
He will be playing the role of a stalker and stalking all the talent that is on Raw
Some fans assumed that his first feud would be with AJ Styles since he attempted to get
into the ring with AJ during the closing moments of Raw
But according to reports, AJ Styles will not be feuding with Dexter right now
That was just meant to be an introduction moment for Dexter, rather than a start of
a feud with AJ Styles
So allegedly AJ Styles isn’t the first target, Dexter will now make his presence felt on
Raw by stalking multiple superstars at a time
So again, if you’ve seen his NXT work, it looks like he’s gonna work in a very similar
way on Raw
One big plot-hole that’ll most definitely be addressed in the coming week’s is Dexter’s
WWE contract status
Yes, Dexter is signed to WWE in real life, but in the storyline world, Dexter is technically
not a WWE superstar and is trespassing at these shows
That’s why he had to basically sneak into the arena and why he was chased down and detained
by police, he’s not supposed to be there
So it’s kind of like the early Retribution days where they weren’t signed to WWE within
the storyline and kept sneaking onto the shows
So maybe that’s what we’ll from Dexter over these next few weeks, he’ll continue
to keep sneaking his way into shows until some moment happens in the story that will
bring him back to the ring
——————-
Speaking of Triple H changes, fans are currently wondering if Triple H has also finally scrapped
Alexa Bliss’ doll Lilly
The final day that Lilly was relevant to any storylines was back in September 2021 when
Charlotte ripped her up
Everyone understood that moment as Lilly’s demise, but the doll ended up returning with
Alexa Bliss in may for no good reason and offered nothing at all to Alexa’s story
The rumor was that Vince McMahon wanted to keep Lilly around a bit longer without any
explanation since the doll was a high selling merchandise item
It looks it was that simple, they just wanted to keep the doll on TV to keep it selling
Although it was a popular item with fans of all ages, other fans just grew extremely tired
of Lilly’s presence because she wasn’t affecting the story anymore and basically
felt like it was holding Alexa’s character back from further evolving
Alexa Bliss came out for a promo on the August 8th edition of Raw and was even involved in
a backstage segment, and the big thing to notice is that Alexa didn’t have the doll
with her at all throughout the night
Which of course is the first time in a longtime that Alexa Bliss appeared on Raw without Lilly
So fans are wondering if Lilly’s absence was just a one week thing and Alexa will bring
her back out for official matches or is Lilly officially done for good?
Of course a majority of fans are on the side of wanting to never see Lilly again because
it just has to be over now
That’s why fans were excited for the old rumored storyline of someone stealing Lilly
because maybe that would’ve been a great storyline way to drop lilly from Alexa’s
presentation
But it looks like they might’ve just quietly removed Lilly instead of making a whole storyline
out of it, but we’ll still have to keep an eye on Alexa’s appearances to see if
Lilly pops back up
