Rewatching the Elias/Ryker segment... fuck, Ryker really is a complete no-talent. He has zero going for him. Not only is he being put over workers who are better in every way, he's doing it as a face.

I don't see any way he gets cheered when fans are back. In fact, I'm predicting reactions as harsh as face Rocky Maivia got

The whole angle seems like a place holder to fill time until they go live. I really hope that Elias gets another chance with his previous gimmick. With a live crowd I feel like he could get over again.

If it's a placeholder, don't have Ryker win all the time.

Ryker is the future.....rise of the Ryke
