Best and Worst of RAW- 22nd October, 2018

#2 Best: The Elias face turn

I would love to see how Elias actually works as a face

Elias has been one of those performers that the crowd wants to root for, but then he goes on to diss their favourite sports team. This week, we saw him turn face on RAW. And this turn happened with him hitting the most hated heel on RAW, Constable Corbin, with an acoustic guitar.

How does Elias sing songs about insulting sports teams now as a babyface? The answer is very simple. He can just write and perform nasty songs on his opponents, much like The Rock used to do.

Elias' turn has been the most organic face turn in recent memory and I'm curious to see just how far up the ladder the man can climb. In my opinion, the man personifies entertainment and he is the very definition of a sports entertainer.
