Elias has been making a name for himself since his arrival on the main roster and has quickly
become one of the most improved Superstars in the company today. He’s truly underrated
and is one of the best heels currently, in my opinion. His promos and musical performances
are very amusing to watch and he really knows how to work up a crowd by throwing the odd
insult or two. He’s even taking pages out of the book of Jericho. Michael Cole seems
to be infatuated with Elias. Maybe Elias gave him a “private concert” like he tried
to do with Renee Young. I really believe Elias has potential to become a top star in the
WWE, however, he is yet to win a Championship but with a little more time, we will all “Walk
With Elias”.
The
break-up of “JeriKO” or as Kevin Owen’s prefers, “Team Kevin & Chris” was heart-breaking
but it helped transform Owens into the ruthless heel that he is today. The man headbutted
“The Chairman” Vince McMahon and annihilated Vince’s son, Shane, so if that doesn’t
cement him as one of the top heels in the WWE today, then I don’t know what does.
Whether as “The Face of America” or simply as “K.O.”, Owens is always looking for
a fight and he has had some great feuds and matches against the likes of Dean Ambrose,
John Cena and SmackDown Live Commissioner, Shane McMahon. Owens’ promo work is also
something to be appreciated as he’s certainly not afraid to make his voice heard. But how
could we forget his partnership with long-time friend, Sami Zayn. The two have great chemistry
together and each week they are so entertaining to watch. Now that Zayn and Owens are on Monday
Night RAW, let’s hope they are booked well and for goodness sake, give Sami Zayn a championship.
Even a 10-year-old kid has more main roster titles then he does.
“The Modern Day Maharaja” Jinder Mahal shocked the world when he won the WWE Championship
for the first time in his career after defeating Randy Orton at Backlash 2017. Although it
may be cliché, the foreign villain gimmick works naturally for Mahal as he looks the
part and garners a lot of genuine heat from the crowd each week… like someone else we
know. A few years back, no-one would have ever thought that Jinder Mahal would win the
most prized possession in the WWE. But, as a changed man, he worked extra hard and proved
everybody wrong by becoming one of the top heels in the company today. Since moving to
Monday Night RAW, things haven’t been going too well for Mahal as he lost the United States
Championship to Jeff Hardy and also lost a singles match to Chad Gable. But it’s still
early, so who knows what’s next for “The Modern Day Maharaja”.
There is only word that describes The Miz as a heel and that word is “awesome”.
For years, The A-Lister has been showing us why he still has the “It” factor with
great in-ring ability and amazing promo work. Just watch his promo on Talking Smack and
you will see why. Whether he’s paired up with Damien Mizdow, his wife, Maryse or The
Miztourage, he’s always convincing in his role as a cocky, self-absorbed heel and he
sure knows how to get a crowd worked up. Every little detail from cheap tactics to mocking
Daniel Bryan’s Yes! Kicks just makes you hate the guy. Speaking of which, now that
The Miz has switched to the blue brand, things are going to get real interesting with his
reignited rivalry with Daniel Bryan. That’s once Big Ass is done with Bryan first.
Since his shocking heel turn at WrestleMania 34, Shinsuke Nakamura has been killing it
lately as a heel... or killing AJ Styles’ manhood. He has gone from delivering his signature
“knee to face” to now an “arm to balls” making him not “The King of Strong Style”
but “The King of Low Blows” or simply, “The Nutcracker”. Ric Flair would be proud.
With all these low blows, I hope poor Styles was done having kids... not that he had a
choice or anything. Everything from Nakamura’s facial expressions and unpredictable mannerisms
to him forgetting the English language is just brilliant and his epic new theme song
only adds to the brilliance. We may not be able to sing along anymore but, luckily for
you guys, I have the English lyrics for
the song…
