3 ways Roman Reigns' unfortunate absence has benefited WWE Raw

#2 Better opportunity for mid-carders

Elias turned face after smacking Corbin with his guitar

WWE treated its mid-card as if it never existed, as there were no proper storylines for the mid-carders. However, after the current turn of events, things look bright for them. The team of Chad Gable and Bobby Roode are getting time to shine.

Elias also had a sudden face turn, which propelled his value to a higher level. The Intercontinental title feud is one of the hottest feuds in WWE today, and the tag team division is legitimate again under the Authors Of Pain.

Honestly, the mid-card is back to prosper again on RAW. The creative are forced to experiment new dynamics since they lost their top guy.

Elias' face turn was one of such a new dynamic. Even though Elias had one of the biggest crowd reactions every night, WWE was reluctant to pull the trigger on him. But now he is a babyface, and is on the verge of a mini-push.
