Elias with that surface of the Sun heat.
Something was in the air or in the water tonight (Oct. 1) in Seattle, Washington. The Key Arena in Seattle was rocking for most of Monday night during what honestly was a ho-um episode of Raw.
Then Elias came out and blew the roof off the place.
Think of the largest pop in pro wrestling you remember hearing. Then superimpose that crowd noise over the Raw live crowd in Seattle.
All it took was one simple local sport’s team reference and Elias had the WWE Universe raining down boos on him like we’ve never seen before.

In 2008, the Seattle SuperSonics left the city and relocated to Oklahoma City where the NBA team was renamed the Thunder.
When ranking pro wrestling crowd reactions you have that Road Warrior pop, Stone Cold Steve Austin’s theme music hitting the night Mick Foley beat The Rock for the WWE title on Raw and you can now add the night Elias brought up the SuperSonics leaving Seattle to the scale.
When was the last time you heard a Monday night Raw crowd boo a heel with no mercy like they did Elias tonight?
