The guitar strumming Elias is a man with multiple names. Not only was he Elias Samson during his NXT run, he was also El Vagabundo. Yet, in the main roster, his name has been shortened to Elias. Truth be told, it's proved lucky for the talented superstar.

For a while, Elias had a last name in the main roster. And suddenly, he didn't. Unfortunately, while his name disappeared overnight, his musical skills remained much the same.

Today, he's one of the RAW's most promising superstars. Considering he fits the mold that Vince McMahon often likes, the sky is the limit for him.

A honorary mention in this list is, of course, Antonio Cesaro!
