5 best catchphrases in the WWE today

#4 "Walk with Elias" (Elias)

Elias

WWE stands for "Walk With Elias". Who wants to Walk with Elias?

Elias has come a long way from his forgettable 'Drifter' gimmick in his NXT days. His main-roster debut was not highly anticipated but made a good use of being an underdog talent. His mic skills have improved drastically, and he has proved to be a main event caliber talent.

On E & C's Pod of Awesomeness, Elias talked about his Walk With Elias gimmick:

"When I got to the main roster, Vince [McMahon] said 'Let's drop The Drifter stuff. You're gonna be Elias and that's it,'' Elias recalled. "So, 'walk with Elias' was the next question, right? And it just so happened to perfectly work out, 'WWE' and 'walk with Elias' are right in line there. I remember I said it backstage to John Cena. He was going off about the WWE Universe and the WWE this and that, and I said 'Hey John, do you know WWE stands for? It stands for walk with Elias.' He said, 'My head just exploded in ten different ways, man. That is great!' He said, 'You got to make a thing out of that.''

"So, sure enough, the next week or whatever I said it against John [Cena], I believe in a promo on Christmas Day, no less," Elias said. "It seemed like right away the fans really reacted to it and the next week I started asking them, 'What does WWE stand for?' and they'll fire back."

Elias has turned out as a great surprise package. He has made great use of his opportunities, whether it’s to gain heat or prove that he belongs with the big guys. He has all the tools to be a great heel and is still getting over with the fans.
