Elias is one of those WWE Superstars who have the ability to get over with the fans just through his mic skills. Interestingly, the 4-time 24/7 Champion was also once a rosebud, as seen in the picture above. Elias made his WWE main roster debut in 2017. Walking through the crowd, appearing in backstage segments playing his guitar, The Drifter had a different vibe to him.

Being a heel for most of his main roster career, he became popular for his in-ring concerts, only to be interrupted by someone every time. He began a feud with King Corbin recently, with both exchanging wins on multiple occasions.

He last appeared on WWE TV on an episode of SmackDown in late May where he got injured in a (storyline) car accident and has been out ever since. Elias is actually out of action for the next six to nine months due to a surgery.

As mentioned previously, Alexa Bliss's tag team partner Nikki Cross was also a former rosebud, appearing in the Exotic Express during an episode of RAW in 2014. She worked in NXT as a singles competitor as well as a part of the faction Sanity, which sadly never lived up to the hype.

She made her main roster debut in November 2018, answering an open challenge to Becky Lynch. She started teaming up with Alexa Bliss in mid-2019 and while WWE fans were expecting the Goddess to turn on Nikki, both have stuck together as a team till now. Nikki Cross will be challenging Bayley for her SmackDown Women's Championship at Extreme Rules 2020.
