Who wants to 'Walk With Elias'?

Lately, a lot of people seem to be willing to walk with Elias. ‘The Drifter’ has certainly improved since he made his main roster debut, and his character has gone over well with the WWE fans. It wasn’t too long ago that the fans were left bewildered as to why the then Elias Samson was brought to the main roster.

Admittedly, Elias did not have the best of runs on NXT and wasn’t a big name on the brand to have deserved the call-up. However, WWE persisted with him and his gimmick, and he proved the WWE officials right. Currently, Elias is one of the more entertaining Superstars on the roster, and his gimmick has also been a hit with the audience.

Taking those factors into account, it shouldn’t surprise many if WWE pushes Elias post WrestleMania, and puts the Universal Title on him. Elias has proved that he can hang with the best in the ring, and a championship run would bring the best out of the Superstar.
