Introducing ‘Drax Shadow’.
Monday Night Raw was a little bit different this week as a very special wrestler made his debut in the squared-circle at San Jose.
Eight-year-old Elijah Mainville caught the attention of the WWE when he submitted a video for the WWE Tough Enough campaign and it seems like he really impressed his wrestling heroes with his charisma in the ring.
Elijah was diagnosed with neuroblastoma at a young age but that seemed like it was far from his thoughts after Triple H and Stephanie McMahon broke the news to him that he would be coming on the show and meeting some of his WWE icons.
This is great.
On the show, Elijah signed a contract and took on the name “Drax Shadow” along with his own catchphrase, “Don’t fear the darkness, fear the Shadow.”
This footage of the WWE fan meeting his heroes is just wonderful. Take a look.
Just blown away by Elijah…I mean Drax Shadow. He truly embodies what it means to be #ToughEnough #WWEhttps://t.co/aP8uwWwkpD
