Survivor Series 2017 result: Elias victorious against veteran Matt Hardy to kick off pre-show
Elias came out on top for a massive win for his career and a potential push on Raw
WWE Survivor Series kicked off with Elias defeating legend Matt Hardy on the pre-show.
Hardy is fighting alone at the moment as brother Jeff recovering from shoulder surgery for a couple of months.
And Elias came out on top for a massive win for his career and a potential push on Raw.
Elias came out and gave his usual spiel with his trusty guitar in hand.
But was interrupted by Hardy to the cheers of the crowd.
Hardy had the better of the early grapples as the veteran used his experience to gain control.
But some big blows by Elias got him back into the match.
And the big man was fully in control after injuring Hardy's arm on the ring apron.
Elias targeted the limb for the remainder of the match but Hardy did fight back and hit a Side Effect and bulldog for a two-count.
But Elias flung Hardy into the ring post and delivered a Drift Away for an important win.
