#4 Feeding Elias to Roman Reigns

Elias has been one of the unluckiest NXT superstars on the main roster in recent years. He is unlucky because he has been getting a lot of screentime and making a lot of new fans weekly, but is being fed to other established superstars nonstop.

His win record on the main roster is terrible, and he has lost every single one of his pay-per-view matches thus far.

Elias will now face Roman Reigns at Money in the Bank for a chance to prove himself as the top guy on SmackDown. You know as well as I do that the man who beat Drew McIntyre at WrestleMania 35 will not be taking a pin from The Drifter.

Instead, WWE should have built Elias as a strong competitor for the Money in the Bank Ladder Match and fed some other superstar to Roman Reigns for the event instead. The result would be more or less the same, but Elias’ value as a wrestler would surely increase if he is built as a main guy in the Money in the Ladder Match instead of a singles’ match against The Big Dog.
