And not in any sort of meme sense, either. He’s actually just plain good. He gets heat and gets his opponents cheered. Shit, tonight he got a crowd to chant “WE WANT ROMAN!“ And he followed that up with a really good match with Roman. I’m not saying he should be main eventing, but I think he makes for a damn solid upper mid-card heel.

He's a damn good midcard act.

Been walking with Elias since NXT and it is good to see him not only get some shine but turn some heads and opinions. He is a guy that if treated right, built right, I can see becoming a Miz type.

Dude had a match a few months back with Balor that made me a big fan. Dude's boss in the ring in addition to getting good heat with his guitar.

I still assume he teleports to the ring.

I hope he eventually gets the IC title.

ELIAS has a pretty cool move set as well. Dynamite Kid hooking clothesline for the win

Elias may never be a world title contender but he's gonna be one of those mid-card guys who will be talked about a lot when it comes to being underappreciated in their time. I mean, it may not seem like it but to me it does because of the sheer quality of the rosters.

I was worried they called him up too fast, but he's so far laid any misgivings I had to rest.

Old school heel mic work, old school wrestling style. I'm definitely a fan, though I hate the single-name thing in his case.

One of the rare examples of a guy being 1000x better on the main roster than in NXT.

Yeah he's one of the only true heels they have. He's one of the only guys who can get genuine heat so yeah, he's pretty good in his role.

Elias is a really good mid-card heel character. Gets heat from the crowd and plays off of them really well. Don't see him rising up much past that level, but it's honestly a perfect spot for him.

He needs more wins. None if this "looks good in defeat" mess.

Been walking with Elias since NXT and it is good to see him not only get some shine but turn some heads and opinions. He is a guy that if treated right, built right, I can see becoming a Miz type. I've liked him since nxt too...I thought then he had "it" really early on. It also helps he's got a really good look/body...reminds me a lot of seth but he's even bigger. Ive thought for quite a long time he has the potential to be more than just a mid card act and could actually be a main event guy. I think vince sees it too because they seem to be doing the classical slow burn with him...giving him a good bit of air time every week, building him up through the announce team, and protecting and pushing him in the ring. The only thing standing between him and being one of the top guys is time, vince, and how they book him because he has the look and tools to be one. |

His act just seemed like it was more suited to the main roster than NXT. And it has been.

Honestly an Elias vs Miz feud could be one of those classic midcard feuds like Jake vs Honky.
