5 WWE Superstars with most improved in-ring ability in 2017

#3 Elias

The Drifter is singing a new tune these days.

Arguably one of the biggest surprise stories of 2017 has been the evolution of Elias. Prior to joining the RAW roster earlier in the year, Elias was on an NXT path of semi-obscurity. Sure he was known and had an occasional match on NXT TV, but there was still a lot of unknown's surrounding this superstar.

Since finding his way onto the main roster, Elias has really stepped his game up and it shows in his complete body of work. From his persona and ability to generate quick heat to his impressively improved ring-work, Elias has evolved into a true performer, in every sense of the phrase.

2017 could prove to be a catalyst year for Elias, so long as he continues to hone his craft and keeps improving on a consistent basis. If he does, in fact, stay the course, we could very well see Elias in the hunt for one of the mid-card titles.
