In most cases, when a Superstar makes his way from NXT to the main roster, the fans have a good idea about the character but not in this case. The drifter was relatively unknown when he debuted on RAW and that is what worked in his benefit.
Starting off with hilarious backstage promos, Elias went on to not only have great matches but also had a memorable feud with Finn Balor.
Elias is expected to enter a program with John Cena which only goes to show that the WWE are ready to put Elias on the next level and it is only a matter of time before Elias establishes his position in the top card and wins a Championship this year.
