Grading the recent face/heel turns in WWE

ELIAS

Hello, I am Elias and I am now a face.

HOW HE/SHE TURNED: On the same night Roman left, Elias turned to a face.

He tried to have his concert on top of the entrance ramp but was continually told to get off the stage by Acting Raw General Manager Baron Corbin.

After he left the stage to everyone's chagrin, he returned to bash a guitar over the Lone Wolf's head.

The following week on Raw, Elias set up shop outside of Corbin's office and continually serenaded Corbin with songs of his incompetence.

Since then, he's engaged in a feud with Bobby Lashley and his child manager, Lio Rush.

His call to social services was hilarious.

GRADE: A

PROGNOSIS GOING FORWARD: People were already cheering for Elias and he was routinely getting some of the loudest reactions regardless of being a heel or face.

It only seemed natural that he would become a fan favourite rather than a heel getting cheered like a face.

He also is among some of the top merchandise sellers in WWE, so it made sense to make him a face.

He's also feuded with almost every face on Raw (Rollins, Bobby Roode, Finn Balor, Lashley before the turn) so a face turn is refreshing.

With Rollins likely to lose the Intercontinental Title to Ambrose and Brock Lesnar as Universal Champion, the two top champions on Raw are bad guys.

If Ambrose wins the title and holds it until next April, he'll need a face challenger.

Finn Balor or Elias would both be perfect options and each is more than ready for a title run.
