#1 Elias has long-term WWE goals

Elias recently caught up with Ryan Boman of Sportskeeda for an interview ahead of his concert on WWE RAW.

Elias, who will release his album 'Universal Truth' on October 26th, was asked about his long-term goals in WWE. The Drifter mentioned that he wants to become a legitimate music star while also accomplishing all his WWE aspirations.

Elias intends to win all the top titles in the WWE, and he wants to use the pro wrestling medium to advance his career as a musician.

"Yeah, well, great question. Great question. And I got to say, they kind of go hand in hand, man. And listen, I told you from the beginning of this interview that it's always my dream to be a WWE Superstar. You know, now god blessed me with some incredible talents along the way, one being music, and if I can merge those two as I have, and grow WWE popularity, music popularity, and it kind of shows that. We've seen WWE produce and create these Hollywood stars, you know The Rock, and Batista and John Cena, and maybe one day that's something for Elias. I'm not focussed on that, but right now, as for the music, if we can create a legitimate music star in the process of me doing my legitimate wrestling dreams, man, that would be the ideal ultimate goal there. And of course, from a WWE standpoint, winning a Championship. I always loved the Intercontinental Championship, the Universal, the WWE Championship, whatever it may be, I would love to have that, and I'm going to be doing everything I can to get there. And in the meantime, hey, if I can promote my music through here and show the world my talent this way, all the better."

Elias also liked the sound of looking into acting as a career in addition to wrestling and music. Elias noted that he would entertain all offers as he has learned a very important lesson in WWE.

"Man, I like the sound of that! I really like the sound of that. Listen, I'm for being prepared for opportunities if they come my way. That's one thing. Being in WWE has absolutely taught me: you never know when or how an opportunity is going to come your way but when it comes, make the best of it, put your whole heart into it, and good things could happen, and that's kind of a lesson for life anyways. So, absolutely man, I got to say, if acting opportunities came my way, I'd love to take a swing at it and do everything I can."

Does Elias have it in him to follow in the footsteps of The Rock, John Cena, and Batista in the future?
