Losers: Elias

Sure, Elias won his match last night, by the skin of his teeth. Still, last night's program doesn't bode well for him. Despite his inconsistent booking, Elias remains one of Raw's most interesting characters. The man is a heat magnet like few others are, being able to routinely draw legitimate heel heat in today's "reality era," even in front of dead crowds.

So is anyone really over the moon to see him get into a feud with Bobby Roode, who is badly miscast as a babyface? Roode's arrival on Raw last week wasn't met with excitement, nor was it last night. Even his "glorious" entrance is starting to fade in its power to connect with fans.

Elias can do something with a much more interesting babyface. Bobby Roode needs to turn heel as soon as possible.
