Before Jeff Jarrett was one of the surprise entries in the titular main event of last year’s Royal Rumble pay-per-view, few fans had expected to see the former Intercontinental Champion back in a WWE ring, given his acrimonious fallout with owner Vince McMahon in the late 1990s. That brief return also saw Jarrett enter a brief feud with Elias, and with more than a year passed since “Double J” helped put the guitar-playing superstar over, he had nothing but good things to say about the younger man in a recent interview with a United Kingdom publication.
Speaking to Metro UK in an interview published on Monday, Jarrett focused on his praise for Elias, telling the outlet that 32-year-old Friday Night SmackDown star has a “huge upside.” He also pointed out that before Elias dealt with injuries for a significant part of 2019, he was “on a roll” and on his way to bigger things as one of WWE’s more promising wrestlers.
