Elias is a man who seemed to have a very low ceiling for him in WWE. He did not do very well as "The Drifter" in NXT, but his work on the main roster has seen him reach levels of popularity that nobody thought he could reach. Elias's push has been slow and gradual since he surfaced on the main roster during the 2017 Superstar Shake-Up. Weekly concerts were interrupted by various babyfaces on the roster, while sometimes they went uninterrupted.

As a guitarist who has the freedom to sing any song about any city, it is pretty easy for Elias to get heat from live crowds. His schtick has gotten remarkably over from city to city. So far, Elias has been an absolute success on the main roster. He shared camera time with Chris Jericho and John Cena on the 25th Anniversary of Raw, standing tall over Cena at the end of their in-ring segment. Elias even appeared as a major troll to the audience at WrestleMania, when the crowd was expecting The Undertaker.

Elias is scheduled to face Seth Rollins for the Intercontinental Championship at Money in the Bank. This match could take him to the next level as he is facing one of the best in the business. However, Elias would have thrived as a potential Money in the Bank winner.

Imagine a scene where the WWE Champion is down and weak in the ring, and we hear Elias's signature guitar strum. The arena would go crazy! With the way Elias is gathering momentum, WWE will soon stand for "WALK WITH ELIAS".
