WWE: 5 Superstars Likely To Become First Time Champions In 2018

3. Elias

Who wants to walk with Elias? Well, apparently a lot of people do. Despite being hardly featured with little success in NXT, Elias has grown into his own on the main roster, and his star just keeps getting brighter.

A lot of people are high on Elias, and there is good reason to be. Elias is one of the most entertaining and over acts on Raw right now, and he can more than hold his own in the ring as proven by his matches with the likes of Jason Jordan, Finn Balor, Roman Reigns, and John Cena.

Elias started out low on the card without a whole lot of hype surrounding him, but he is building up momentum that could eventually lead to a title reign. His act of singing and playing his guitar in the middle of the ring could be a perfect fit for a championship.

Elias could use that time to gloat about his championship, put down his opponent, or do what he does best – roast the live crowd. He could also put on clinics in the ring as he has proven himself, and despite just coming up to the main roster, he has about 10 years of experience as a professional wrestler.

Now, the title picture on Raw may be crowded right now. Roman Reigns is the Intercontinental Champion with the likes of Samoa Joe, The Miz and Finn Bálor all posing serious threats. Then, there’s the Universal Championship picture that has all these guys along with Braun Strowman and Kane.

So, we may need to wait until after WrestleMania before we see Elias enter a title picture, but he could make a run with the Intercontinental Championship and is another realistic choice to win the Money in the Bank ladder match.
