Can I Listen to Elias’s Album on Tidal?
Before we get to the main event of this week’s episode of WWE Raw, we bring you these words from our sponsor:
Hey folks, Elias here. Do you get depressed when you think of Raw‘s booking on a weekly basis? Haha, me too, friend. That’s why whenever I get down, I bust out my old Victrola turntable, put on some “Walk With Elias,” and let the smooth sounds of my voice drift through the air to soothe the soul. Pick up your copy next Monday, July 23!

And we’re back! Seriously, if WWE would just record that script to promote Elias’s album, it would sell like hotcakes. Not that he needs the help, but as a musician myself, I figure I’ll do my part to help.
Perhaps the best part of the entire performance is Elias paying close attention to continuity and past events. He knows that Bob Lashley is a terrible promo, so he responds accordingly. And Elias’s history with Seth Rollins is well documented, as well as their battles over the Intercontinental Championship earlier this summer.
Remember, Elias is 100 percent correct when he says Seth Rollins cheated to retain the title at Money in the Bank. Rollins had a handful of tights when he scored the pinfall, and if we want to get technical it’s all been downhill for Rollins since then. He lost the IC Title the next night, and has failed — twice — at regaining it. So preach, Elias.
