They have absolutely no direction for him as has been shown in how he has been used in the month of July. He just keeps teaming up with random people which include, Samoa Joe, Randy Orton, Sami Zayn, The Revival, and that doesn’t even include the people that I thought he was with, Shane McMahon and Drew McIntyre. He’s basically the WWE jester as he can go out, perform a song, get thrown out there with some random wrestlers, lose his match, and all of that turns into a giant pile of nothing.
Even with that, Elias is pretty good, surely, he must win about 50% of his matches, right? No, well at least 40%? 30%? 20%? No, Elias is currently 8-53 winning just 13.1% of the time. Elias loses almost 90% of his matches, so it’s pretty tough for even his most diehard fans to want to walk with Elias.
What he really needs is kind of what the WWE just did with Shinsuke Nakamura where they gave him a win over Finn Balor, but I just wish they would have done it better. Elias needs that big name win, and if it’s for a belt, that is even better. I think he has the potential to be a very good secondary champion. I mean, he’s not Kazuchika Okada in the ring, but he’s also not as bad as Dean Ambrose so if you put him in with top talent, he can put on good WWE-style matches.
This should be a fairly easy fix, because the fans are still giving him strong reactions and have started to enjoy being browbeaten for living in such crummy cities. I would like to see him come up with a cool catchphrase like, “This is the least fun city I’ve ever been in,” you know, something totally original like that. Then if he just started winning, it could really set something off where WWE has another legitimate superstar.
And everyone in the crowd will put on our New Balances and Walk With Elias.

Yes. Surprised nobody has commented, but they have been wasting him for years. He was one of the most over guys on the show like 3 years ago.
ReplyDeleteHopefully he gets a decent push when he comes back from injury, but with all things WWE, I have my doubts.
