WWE RAW: 3 Superstars who flopped and 3 who impressed (November 2nd, 2020)

#2 Flopped on WWE RAW: Elias

Elias certainly deserves better

WWE RAW featured a 'Guitar on a Pole' match between Elias and Jeff Hardy. The two have been feuding ever since Elias returned and attacked The Charismatic Enigma for ‘running him over with a car’. Anyway, the two Superstars locked horns in an underwhelming encounter this week, and it was Elias who came out looking weaker than ever.

The match started with Elias running for the pole, but he was immediately stopped by Jeff Hardy. Then their roles reversed, and that literally continued for the rest of their short encounter. The only highlight of their match was Elias throwing a tool on Jeff Hady. The closing moments of this match on WWE RAW saw Hardy climb the pole to take the guitar, and then come back to pin Elias in order to pick his victory.

Firstly, if one needs to pin their opponent in order to win this kind of match, what is even the point of keeping an object on the pole. Secondly, this is a feud that has a lot of potential on WWE RAW. The creative need to ensure that they capitalise on a good storyline before it becomes stale – a risk that they can’t avoid for long. After all, it would be a shame to let a good rivalry go to complete waste, especially when it features on a three-hour-long show.
