Gained momentum: Elias

Elias has been my choice for Intercontinental Champion for a long time now. Proving his worth once again, he drew massive heat from a largely unenthusiastic crowd, instantly gaining back the momentum he'd lost over the past few weeks. With loads of potential, he could easily be next year's breakout star if properly booked.
So when Elias was the first to challenge Roman Reigns for his newly-won Intercontinental Championship, I was a bit hesitant, but he walked away from the bout looking like a million bucks. Taking the "Big Dog" to his limit, Elias fell just short of winning the gold, unable to hit his Drift Away finisher in the match.
