10 Roster Moves WWE Must Make After WrestleMania 35
8. Elias (Raw To SmackDown)
Hello, he is Elias, and he should be allowed to become a focal point when SmackDown moves to FOX this October.
It's not necessarily the fact that Elias doesn't wrestle every single week that's the problem. No, it's more that he's been reduced to working mini-feuds with token legends like Jeff Jarrett rather than having any meaningful stab at titles on Raw. That needs to change, simple as that.
The singing man's brief foray into the Intercontinental Title scene was exactly that, brief, and he hasn't come close to championships since. As a babyface who occasionally acts heel, he's neutered on a brand that's awaiting the return of stars like Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn; Elias should get out now before it's too late.
On SmackDown, he'd have natural, fresh rivalries against Rusev, Shinsuke Nakamura, AJ Styles and more. Best of all, he could play face or heel to suit, and could even tangle with a star-maker like Randy Orton who seems comfy in that role nowadays.
