Elias can be an example of a slow burn to main event status. The guitar thing kind of reminds me of Cena’s rap gimmick. He looked good against Cena and worked a program with him which itself is kind of a big deal. The guy is still young too (29). I see him winning the IC or US title next year, and possibly even have a ppv match against a guy like AJ/Rollins/Reigns

I'm a big fan of his, and hope for good things. Even without being some top dude or whatever, I'd be fine with him getting a random title shot and eventually getting anytime of belt. He fills his role really well and seems like he has the potential to be slotted up higher when need be.

I completely agree
I see a huge future for him. He has a good look, can work the crowd, and is a stedy hand in the ring. A few (only tiny) tweaks here and there, and he can go on to big things
As good as 2017 was, 2018 I think will be bigger for him

I can't wait until he he's his own cooking show, "Who Wants to Wok with Elias." He opens each show with a song burying the studio audience and the guest he has on his show. He gives the audience gag gifts like tickets to concerts that have already happened and autograghed stuff from other famous artist that have misspelled signatures. The food always turns out great but he never shares with the guest or the audience.

Can't wait to see him make Roman look strong.

I can't see him as champ, but I'd love him as a top heel Piper-esque role where he's always a thorn in the top face's side.

Didn't he feud with Balor right off the bat when that still kinda meant something?

"Who Wants to Wok with Elias." That's Cultural Appropriation!

Agreed.
My only problem (and I harp on this a lot) is the lack of a surname.
If your name is just a normal (if slightly esoteric) first name, you need a surname or I can't take you seriously as a main eventer.
The same would be true for Seamus, Big E, etc.
Imagine if he was just called Stone Cold Steve...

I predict a strong run in the Rumble for Elias

I've (to my shock and dismay) actually come around on Elias, but not every entertaining act needs to be a main event thing. The dude is entertaining in his current role but nothing I've seen leads me to believe he's a main event caliber guy; it's like saying heel Santino should've main evented.

Huge fan of his. Especially that they are allowing his personality to come out a bit more.

Honestly I see him being the next big shiny toy who they give a huge push to and put in a major match with some long-established face, only to for no apparent reason boot him down the card the second the feud is over.

Depending on if MiTB is a brand exclusive thing again I could really see him winning that
Hearing his Guitar Strum as the Top Champion is laying unconscious would cause such a pop.

Anyone else think he's one of the few whose main roster run has been infinitely more entertaining than his NXT run?

I think the dude should be in the main event scene wherever he goes. Not necessarily Champiok, but a solid upper career.

I like the guy but I have a feeling he'll be one of those guys WWE thinks of as "getting more over than they wanted him to" and he'll be stuck in midcard hell forever like Wade Barrett or Rusev.
