Elias made his triumphant return to Friday Night SmackDown last week and one has to wonder what the company has planned for everyone's favorite drifter. Furthermore, one has to wonder who exactly Elias will cross paths with during his latest stint on SmackDown, which will no doubt lead to some interesting possibilities.

In fact, between Elias being able to spit hot fire whenever he gets on a microphone, to the way he is able to get a reaction out of the WWE Universe, he could become an essential part of programming over the next month. He might even work himself up to a mid-card title, if he is booked right.

With that stated, and 'The Drifter' now back from injury, here are five possible feuds for Elias going forward. As always, let us know your thoughts in the comments section below and tell us who you think Elias should face off against.


#5 Keep him floating.

Maybe just have Elias do what he does best?

Why not just keep Elias floating around? Not only does that allow WWE to continue to use him in whatever capacity the company desires, he can also act as a tool to help other talent get over. Beyond that, WWE could even use his talents to further other Superstars' storylines and leave fans on the edge of their seats in the process.

For example, let's say Elias was possessed by The Fiend in one way or another and used as a mind game trick against Daniel Bryan, or maybe WWE uses him in the ongoing storyline between Baron Corbin and Roman Reigns as a way to give Reigns an embarrassing loss after Corbin interferes.

Either way, there are a lot of ways WWE can use Elias without having to commit him to any one specific storyline and the company might want to take advantage of that.
