Elias was hardly involved in any meaningful rivalries during his two years on Monday Night Raw, yet he still managed to become one of the most must-see Superstars that WWE has to offer during his time with the red brand.

WWE’s resident guitarist has now switched over to SmackDown Live, where he was introduced by Vince McMahon as “the biggest acquisition in the brand’s history” before Roman Reigns appeared and struck him with a Superman Punch and a spear.

Being involved in a segment with Vince is always a good sign, while it looks as though Elias could also be involved in matches against Reigns and The Undertaker over the next few months.

Regardless of whether or not those matches happen, you can bet that WWE will find time to put the spotlight (literally) on Elias on SmackDown Live. And who knows, perhaps this will be the year that he proves with his in-ring performances that he is deserving of title opportunities in the future.
