Jeff Jarrett Says Current WWE Superstar Has “Huge Upside”

Jeff Jarret has been around the wrestling business for a long time, and he’s seen a lot of stars come and go.

The WWE Hall of Famer is currently working with WWE in a backstage role, and during a recent interview with Metro UK the former Intercontinental Champion had some big praise for Elias.

“He’s got a huge upside. His injury last year was unfortunate, because he was really starting to get on a roll. He’s got something that you can’t teach, that you can’t coach, that you can’t manufacture. He’s got a unique set of skills. He’s got an aura about him, a charisma about him that’s very unique. ‘The fact that he can play, and sing, and wrestle, and write music, and tie it all together – it makes him a very entertaining character.”

Double J also commented on Edge’s surprise return at the Royal Rumble, and he reflected on his own surprise Royal Rumble appearance last year.

“It was a lot of fun, and what a way to return – that surprise spot in Royal Rumble is always a lot of fun, and obviously Edge returning this year in Houston was incredible. In the Royal Rumble, that match in and of itself is 30 entrants. When they’re coming out, you don’t know who, you don’t know in what order. Yeah, there was a lot of components in that match so it was a lot of fun. I’m very happy with the way it turned out!”
