Walk With Elias
'What does WWE stand for?', Elias asks and an entire crowd shouts back: 'WALK WITH ELIAS!'
Why a guy with a guitar became one the most over guys in the entire company, because what we needed is what his.
In Summer 2015, after a lot of vignettes, Elias (Samson) appeared on NXT. The man they called 'The Drifter' wasn't the most popular act on NXT and therefore his did not have a succesful run on NXT. Much to fan's surprise he was called up to the Main Roster in April 2017 an appeared on RAW, randomly walking through the background while other on-air-personalities were having an interview.
He became a mainstay on the show, because his town-trashing promos and solo-acts in the ring got more and more over every week. This is one of the rare occasions were a Superstar from NXT has worked better on the Main Roster, than he did in developmental.
Rumours say, that Vince McMahon thinks Elias is a new version of the late great Randy Savage and he might be right. Elias is a natrual at working the crowd. His wrestling his basic, but entertaining and his charisma beyond great. He's got all the tools in the world that is why he pinned John Cena recently and that is why he is getting more and more air-time with each passing week.
Another rumour says, Elias will be part of the Intercontinental Title Match at WrestleMania and a title around waist will be inevitable soon, because his popularity is still on the rise.
But one question remains: Who wants to walk with Elias?
