Jeffrey Daniel Sciullo (born November 22, 1987) is an American professional wrestler and musician. He is signed to Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) under the ring name Elijah. He is also known for his tenure in WWE from 2014 to 2023, where he performed as Elias (Samson) and Ezekiel.
Prior to joining WWE, Sciullo worked for various companies on the independent circuit under the ring name Logan Shulo. He then joined WWE and was assigned to the developmental brand NXT in 2014 under the ring name Elias Samson, which he portrayed as a musician who often used music to mock his opponents or the fans in attendance, and he was nicknamed "The Drifter". Shortly after joining the main roster in 2017, his ring name was shortened to Elias. In 2018, the EP WWE: Walk with Elias was released by WWE Music Group featuring Sciullo, which was followed by Universal Truth in 2020. After a hiatus starting in August 2021, Sciullo returned in April 2022, but as Elias' younger brother named Ezekiel. Later that year, Ezekiel was taken off television, and Sciullo returned as Elias until he was released from his contract in September 2023. In 2024, Sciullo returned to wrestling on the independent circuit under the ring name Elijah before debuting in TNA in February 2025.
