Elias returned to the WWE recently and dropped a new album on us at the same time.
In 2018, Elias dropped the 4-track “Walk With Elias” and just in time for his WWE return dropped the new “The Universal Truth” album. Convincing the company to get behind the music may have been easier than you think.
Speaking to WWE’s The Bump, Elias talked about what he did during his downtime from his injury and how the album came together.
“When I got hurt last time on SmackDown, that’s really when this stuff got put into motion,” Elias explained about how his album came to be. “I’m going to reference the very first line in ‘Amen,’ how many times are they going to kill me? I don’t know if you remember, but Baron Corbin took a thing to my throat and I couldn’t sing, and my hand was messed up. He threw me off the ledge, and then I get hit by a car of all things. I was out of action for quite a while.”
“I’m sitting at home and I’m thinking, how many times are they going to kill me and try to put my down? And I just wrote that song. I reached out to the WWE team, I said, ‘Listen, I really want to come back. I want to have an album for when I come back, whenever that may be, and they said they were on board. They said to write some songs and give it to them. I did that. I wrote about 10 songs. We narrowed it down, and that’s what we got, we got the ‘Universal Truth.’”
It only adds to the Elias character to have him releasing music, and the album has seemingly done well. It’s been popular on streaming services and it only adds to the credibility that Elias is actually a talented musician. Now that it’s managed to find its way to the top of the iTunes charts, we can see if it translates to the top of the WWE mountain.
