It's hard to believe at this point that a wrestler as popular as Elias has not won a championship in WWE yet. But if you look back at his NXT career, it wasn't all that great after all.

Elias was used mainly as enhancement talent to put other wrestlers over back in NXT. However, after his switch to the main roster and debut on Raw, Elias slowly gained popularity and became a much better prospect.

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

This was mainly due to more screen time for the Drifter and the fact that he's a great live act His confidence and heel work helped him get noticed which has greatly increased his value on the red brand.

Elias has received a handful of championship matches, mainly for the Intercontinental Championship on Raw, but hasn't been very successful as yet. He has managed to get some good matches with top players such as John Cena, Finn Balor, Bobby Lashley, and Dean Ambrose.

With his second year on the main roster fast approaching, we can expect Elias to win his first championship on the main roster this year as the competition for the Intercontinental Title remains red-hot.
