WWE RAW: 2 Superstars that flopped and 3 who impressed– Former Champion makes up for big mistake, potential spoiler for Hell In A Cell 2021? (June 14, 2021)

#2 Flopped on WWE RAW: Elias

For the third week in a row, WWE RAW Superstar Elias was one of the most underwhelming performers on the show. Once again, he faced his former partner, Jaxson Ryker.

Both superstars locked horns in a rematch from last week that again ended in the same fashion as before. Elias started the match well by unloading top-notch offense.

He even managed to keep Ryker pressed against the ropes for several minutes before the latter could fight his way out. However, soon after that, the entire equation of the match entirely changed as Ryker began dominating Elias with ease on WWE RAW.

Towards the end, he threw Elias off the top rope and the latter crashed into the floor. Ryker then met his opponent at ringside and continued to lay a brutal assault on him.

After Ryker got back to the ring, Elias looked like he would fight his way back into the squared circle as well. However, he shockingly changed his mind just as the referee counted him out.

It was pretty disappointing to see Elias being booked like a coward on WWE RAW once again. Ryker stated that things are not over between them. But what is the point of dragging this storyline when each fight ends in the same manner?
