#1 Flopped on WWE RAW: Elias
This week on WWE RAW, Elias teamed up with Jaxson Ryker and The Miz to take on Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods, and Damian Priest. This match was way too long and got tedious after a while. The match had sporadic action-packed moments. Unfortunately, Elias got the worst of it as he came across as the weakest performer in the match.
Despite looking like a strong contender against all three of his opponents, Elias’ role was mostly limited to putting over Priest. He deserves credit for doing the job well, but the creative should invest more in his character on WWE RAW. It has been a long time since he picked up a good win on the Red brand. Instead, he constantly falls prey to weak bookings on the show.
The budding feud between Elias and Ryker and The New Day can account for a good rivalry on WWE RAW. This would allow the creative to explore Elias and Ryker’s potential as a tag team. The latter has had his fair share of impressive moments inside the ring and can use a good run alongside The Drifter. Hopefully, we will see them involved in more matches that can help in showcasing their strength.
