Elias

“I love music. I love creating, so I just get inspired with whatever mood I'm in. Whatever the story dictates, that's where my mind goes.”

“Everything I do is true to the person I am. To me, there's not too much distinction between Elias and my former name.”

“I can see myself having a great WrestleMania match with John Cena, with Chris Jericho.”

“I've got issues with The Undertaker, I'd love to take The Undertaker out.”

“If it was up to me, I would be given ample time to do a full on performance. I would play all of the instruments that I can play, really show off to the world, then maybe have an Intercontinental title match and follow that up, maybe go out against somebody like The Undertaker or John Cena, anybody that can really top off a great performance.”

“There was a time that I was The Drifter in NXT, and I did not want to break my guitar because that was the only guitar I had.”

“I'm starting to think they know that WWE stands for Walk With Elias more than any other abbreviation.”

“When I say I'm the biggest musical act on the face of the planet, I really mean that. I'm in front of tens of thousands of people, millions around the world, performing every week. Is there anybody else that's doing that? I don't think so.”

“I always wanted to be a wrestler.”

“A lot of what I do on WWE TV is what I was doing on the NXT Live events. That wasn't really seen by anybody. But now I get to do it on live television.”

“When I was 15, I got super into Eric Clapton. My father took notice of this and got me a guitar for Christmas.”
