At the end of WWE Raw’s show at the SAP center in San Jose, Ca, Triple H and Stephanie McMahon presented 8-year-old Elijah Manville with an honorary WWE contact.
How did Elijah get an honorary contract?
It happened back in May when Elijah decided to submit his audition tape for the Tough Enough show. Elijah was one of thousands who sent an audition tape to try to be a part of the Tough Enough show, but that wasn’t stopping him.
When WWE saw his audition tape, they knew that they had to make him an honorary WWE wrestler.

When he was only 3-years-old, Elijah was diagnosed with stage 4 high-risk neuroblastoma. His cancer is a form of childhood cancer that affects the nervous system.
Elijah had undergone various treatments over his last five years; his cancer went into remission and unfortunately returned in July. He’s shown his strength with his hard battle and his passion for his dream of becoming a WWE professional wrestler.
Elijah’s other dream was to meet The UnderTaker and Stardust… the WWE wrestler that was there during Elijah’s contract signing was Stardust.
When he was asked what his stage name was going to be, Elijah said “Drax Shadow” and when Triple H asked him what his cool catchphrase was going to be, Elijah said, “don’t fear the darkness, fear the shadow.”
