#6 Elias (Will Benefit):

The Drifter has been with the red brand ever since getting called up to the main roster 2 years ago. Many people have called Elias as one of the most gifted yet underused Superstars of the current era. He has what it takes to keep the audience engaged with his act, something that is quite rare for non-main-event stars these days. Despite of that, he doesn't get to wrestle or feature in prominent story-lines that often.

However, it looks like things are about to change for WWE's resident songsmith. Elias was drafted to Smackdown Live and his Blue Brand debut was hyped up as, "The Biggest Acquisition in Smackdown Live history". He was introduced by Vince McMahon himself.

Elias is now feuding with Roman Reigns and a match between the two has been made official for next month's Money in the Bank PPV. On a brand where top heels are needed, Elias can be a really good fit.
