Will The Drifter be carried away to Raw or SmackDown Live?

Elias Samson was recently part of a ‘loser leaves NXT’ match against Kassius Ohno and was escorted out of the building at the culmination of the same. Ohno even stepped on his guitar and broke it. While his career in music may soon be coming to an end, his wrestling career is just getting started.
We believe this was a way for Samson to go to the main roster, ideally Raw, after WrestleMania 33.

Why Raw makes sense over SmackDown is because announcer Corey Graves absolutely cannot stand Samson. His rants are often more entertaining than Samson's matches. Even the ‘loser leaves NXT’ match did not feel the same without Graves calling it and going ballistic at “The Drifter”.
Elias Samson won’t get the same push that Nakamura probably will, but we expect him to be an integral comedy figure in the main roster on Raw.
