Number 6- Elias
Besides his hilarious singing segments and a few matches here and there, the audience hasn’t seen a lot of what Elias can offer. In fact, the most anybody has seen was his WWE Intercontinental Championship match recently against Roman Reigns, which was amazing.
Triple H, amongst other faculty in WWE believe that Elias has serious potential at being a big star. The problems mainly consist of how NXT didn’t work for him just because of the environment and that he isn’t a ‘big name’ superstar currently.
This does not mean that he won’t become one. He can certainly be groomed as one, and would any of us be against that? The segments Elias is involved in constantly impress officials and superstars backstage alike, and he is impressive in his delivery both in terms of the performances and matches every week on ‘Raw.’
Elias does have what it takes to be a big star. Don’t be surprised when he wins a singles Championship next year. Whether this be a mid-card or even a main event Championship, he can work his way to feeling like an established star. He is already starting to have that vibe to him and in context of the span of his entire career, this is only the beginning.
2018 may not see Elias capture the WWE Championship or WWE Universal Championship, but it isn’t hard to imagine him walking into or out of a pay-per-view holding up the WWE United States or WWE Intercontinental Championships. Ladies and gentlemen, it is time to walk with Elias.
