#1 Elias

From being unpopular down in NXT to being an absolute hit on Monday Night Raw, it's been a crazy few months for The Drifter Elias. The guitar-playing dynamo has found his true calling, and every single week, it feels like more and more members of the WWE Universe are jumping on the 'Walk With Elias' bandwagon.

We've already seen him being put into high profile matches and situations, such as his appearance in the Elimination Chamber match. Now, however, it feels like WWE needs to take things to the next level before fans start to lose interest. He doesn't necessarily need to be involved in a one-on-one title match, but just imagine the pop if he steals the world title in a multi-man cluster.

Would you want to see these wrestlers as Champions? Do you have any other Superstars in mind? Let us know in the comments section below!
