Lifelong WWE fan Elijah Mainville was diagnosed with high-risk neuroblastoma when he was three years old. Elijah is still fighting cancer at eight years old, but that didn’t stop him from sending in a video asking to be a contestant on WWE’s Tough Enough.
WWE’s new Superstar is an 8-year-old cancer patient
He has a catchphrase and everything!
Bill Hanstock is a writer, author and Emmy Award-winning producer. He began writing for SB Nation in 2011.
WWE took notice, as Stephanie McMahon and Triple H invited Elijah to come to Monday night’s RAW and sign an honorary contract as a WWE Superstar.
And on Monday night, the newly-rechristened “Drax Shadow” got to get in the ring with Triple H, Stephanie and Stardust. He’s even got an AWESOME catchphrase!
Just blown away by Elijah...I mean Drax Shadow. He truly embodies what it means to be #ToughEnough #WWE https://t.co/aP8uwWwkpD
