8 Most improved WWE superstars of 2018 

#6 Elias

Elias has gone from strength to strength in 2018

Elias has been one of the few NXT success stories in recent years, and his stock has continued to grow throughout 2018.

After some excellent heel-work for the majority of 2018, which included a near nuclear reaction during a segment with Kevin Owens, Elias turned face in November and has continued to shine as one of Raw's hottest talents.

The former drifter looks set to have an excellent 2019, and while he has not tasted any gold yet in the WWE, it is surely just a matter of time before the company decides to pull the trigger on him.
