Elias represents one of the rare few superstars who have excelled far more on the main roster than in NXT. While he did have a good run in NXT and got good heat during his time there, he seemed to have been one of those acts who was “fast-tracked” to the main roster. And it does make sense as his character and gimmick are well-suited for a larger live audience.
Triple H himself, in an interview, admitted that Elias was one of the superstars who was just given a little polishing before being called up. If you were to ask Elias, however, he would disagree.
Since his debut on RAW, he’s found quite some success, being featured with top stars, feuding with them and even main eventing PPVs. The reactions that he’s gotten are unparallel and he quickly found his way into becoming a staple of Monday Night RAW.
We look at Elias’ 5 most impressive performances and promos. Naturally, they involve a lot of crowd roasting!
