WWE RAW had an engaging show planned for this week

#5 Flopped on WWE RAW: Elias

Elias could have been booked better on WWE RAW

Elias is one of the criminally underused WWE Superstars on RAW. After his defeat against Braun Strowman at Fastlane, he was once again booked in a match against The Monster Among Men. From their overall fight to the outcome, nothing was different on RAW, and it begs the question about the creative’s plans for Elias.

Elias had both Shane McMahon and Jaxson Ryker at ringside. He managed to gain the upper hand in this match for probably a few seconds. Strowman then rammed him through the barricade and brought him back inside the ring. The match ended with The Monster Among Men hitting Elias with a disastrous dropkick. Strowman picked up an easy victory, and Elias was once again pinned on WWE RAW.

At least after the match, it was confirmed that Braun Strowman and Shane McMahon would face each other at WrestleMania. With less than three weeks left for the pay-per-view, it will be interesting to see what else McMahon can do to make the other guy look stupid. Until now, his most significant attacks include throwing green slime and writing songs which is pretty much all it takes to intimidate a WWE Superstar.
