WWE Hall Of Famer Jeff Jarrett was interviewed on the Pancakes and Powerslams Show and discussed several professional wrestling topics.
During their conversation, Jarrett was asked who on WWE’s current roster he’d like to see in the main event scene. Jarrett named Monday Night RAW star Elias as a talent he has been impressed with as of late:
“I think Elias is a true main-event rivalry away from breaking to a completely different level,” said Jarrett.
“Not to say that [Elias isn’t already] a main-eventer, but when they have that real rivalry, because if you look back and look at Stone Cold and Rock, Stone Cold and Vince McMahon, Hogan and Savage, Hogan and Warrior, you can just go all the way down that line.
“You gotta look at where Lex Luger was at [in WWE] and when he jumped to WCW. Overnight, he became Sting’s ally, and Sting was on the fence in the nWo storyline.
“And so, all of a sudden, Lex was that personified WCW face that name his name there, and he really helped nWo a lot more than people give him credit for. Because, again, it was another rivalry made. Lex Luger against nWo, Sting against nWo. And I think Seth and Elias are right in that.”
Currently, SmackDown Live’s General Manager is Paige. The Englishwoman is unable to perform as an in-ring talent for WWE right now due to medical concerns. It’s unlikely she wrestlers for WWE ever again.
The same thing was once said about Daniel Bryan, however, and he now wrestlers regularly on Tuesday nights. With that being said, there’s a possibility the SDL General Manager role could become available in the future.
This is something Jarrett wouldn’t rule out if it was offered to him:
“You would have to be a moron not to say [no],” Jarrett said.
“Absolutely! Do I think it’s gonna happen? No. But, would it sure be intriguing? Multiple ways to go and, as a famous promoter has once said, ‘never say never.’”
