An Elias-inspired local competitor attacked Bobby Lashley

Elias' biggest fan tries to bash Bobby Lashley with a guitar: Raw, Aug. 13, 2018

An Elias fan named Ricky Roberts' attempt to injure Bobby Lashley doesn't exactly go as planned.

Elias may have evaded Bobby Lashley’s clutches tonight. His local-competitor lookalike, however, did not.

Lashley had been scheduled to face a local named Ricky Roberts, who turned out to be so devoted to The Living Truth that he came to the ring with a guitar and promised to one day become a talented enough musician that he would earn the respect of Elias. The guitarist emerged to insist that all he wanted from Ricky was to beat Lashley — and, maybe, throw down $5 for a Walk With Elias wristband on WWEShop.com.

Lashley soon followed, and Roberts decided to make himself famous, Kabonging the former ECW Champion over the back with his guitar. Alas, that did little besides make Lashley angry, and the dominant Superstar hoisted Roberts into the air and pummeled him into the ring with a one-handed spinebuster. Rough night for Elias and those he inspires, but the good news is that he should hopefully be able to turn his fortunes around at SummerSlam, where he will follow up his concert at Gramercy Theatre by debuting "his greatest song to date."
