The bad news for Elias is that he’s not the only Superstar who’s musically inclined: Moments before his latest tilt with Apollo Crews, Titus O’Neil appeared with a banjo to mock Elias’ pre-match serenades and hype up his protégé in action.
The good news for the sinister songsmith is that it didn’t make much of a difference when it came to the in-ring result. Crews came to play as always, but Elias still administered his greatest hits and a few covers to boot (that new Walking With Elias move where he walked on the top rope and hit Crews with a clothesline seemed eerily familiar …) en route to his classic showstopper, the head-ringing Drift Away.
