Elias is one of the WWE Superstars within the company who has a ton of potential moving forward in his singles career.
The man formerly known as "The Drifter" comes out to the ring on a barstool in the dark, with a spotlight focused solely on him in the center of the ring as he holds his guitar and asks the crowd one simple question - "Who wants to walk with Elias?"
Fans go nuts for his segments and often cheer when Elias asks the question. He has also shown a great deal of improvement inside of the ring. Over the past several weeks he has shared the ring with the likes of Roman Reigns and John Cena.
Elias took on Roman Reigns a few weeks ago on an episode of Monday Night RAW for the Intercontinental Championship, and joined Stone Cold Steve Austin's podcast, The Steve Austin Show, to talk about his experience.
"The Drifter" explained why he didn't feel nervous wrestling Reigns and how he feels about "The Big Dog's" position on the top of the WWE card (quotes via Wrestling Inc.):
"He's in the position that he is in for a reason. The fans, I understand their reaction for him, but they are reacting for him, big time everytime he goes out there for him," Elias said.
"He is the big dog and I felt that way when I was in the ring with him. He is cool to work with; smooth, and he isn't panicked or rushing over anything.
"You just feel it as soon as you get in there. Together, our styles came together nicely I thought.
"I don't get nervous facing him, but I do understand what is going on; they are giving me 20 minutes with their main guy, but also, I have been thinking about this my whole life.
"I have been wanting this my whole life, and been wanting this spot my whole life, so to me it's just time to do this," he said. "I don't mean to come off sounding like a big shot, but it's the truth.
"I have been watching wrestling since I was a kid, and have wanted to wrestle at WrestleMania in big matches, so I don't think nervous is the word, but I am definitely excited about what is going on."
