Elias and Shane McMahon's alliance can mean big things for the Drifter down the line
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.

Ali Siddiqui is a listicle and feature writer for Sportskeeda Wrestling since 2018. After completing his Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, he decided to write for Sportskeeda Wrestling after learning about it through a friend. He briefly worked for The Sportster as well.
Ali's love for pro wrestling dates back to when Randy Orton won a Battle Royal to become the #1 Contender for the World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam 2004. His current favorite wrestler is Cody Rhodes because he's the ultimate throwback babyface. He believes Rhodes has the Surfer Sting's passion, Bret Hart's prop-gifting schtick, a catchy theme like Hogan's, and a kid-friendly demeanor akin to John Cena's.
When he is not doing research for his articles on Google or catching up with the latest in pro wrestling, Ali can be found honing his Data Science and AI skills as he strives to get back into tech in the near future.
