Elias has a song in his heart. And, chances are, that song is going to drive everybody nuts. Never one concerned with taking the high road or playing by the rules, the sinister songsmith has no qualms about targeting his opponents with a mighty swing of his six-string, especially if they have the nerve to interrupt one of his pre-match concerts.
Claudio Lugli and Elias crossed paths at WWE's Summerslam. Dubbed as "The Biggest Party of the Summer," it is one of the original "Big Four" pay-per-view events of the WWE and is considered the WWE's second biggest event of the year behind WrestleMania.
Elias is a fan favourite and regarded by his fans as a fashion and style icon.

Working alongside the former 4x WWE 24/7 champion is a great experience as he knows the exact direction stylistically that he wants to go in.

With a body covered in tattoos, Graves doesn’t look like the typical, clean-cut announcer the WWE Universe is used to. That’s because, for years, “The Savior of Misbehavior” was laser-focused on making it to the top of WWE. He captured the NXT Tag Team Championship with Neville and was consistently a threat to the NXT Title. However, a series of concussions forced Graves into an early retirement from the ring. Though he faced a huge setback, Graves was determined not to let the end of his in-ring career be the final chapter of his time in WWE. “The Savior of Misbehavior” jumped at the opportunity to join NXT’s announce team in December 2014 and excelled behind the microphone, providing his opinionated insights to the NXT Universe.
Since then, Graves has brought his entertaining analysis to the main roster, breaking down the matches on both Raw and SmackDown LIVE, as well as lending his astute observations to WWE Network pay-per-view events.Now exclusive to the blue brand, Graves is still just getting started. If his early days as a broadcaster are any indication, Corey Graves will be an important voice in the WWE Universe for years to come.

From the Producers of Rip it Up the 50s and 60s comes the greatest music decade ever! Join Olympic champion Louis Smith, Rachel Stevens (S Club 7), Melody Thornton (Pussycat Dolls) and Giovanni Spano (X-Factor) for a groovy evening of singing & dancing.
The 1970s were when icons were born. With the groundwork for a new sense of personal freedom laid in the swinging 60s, people experimented with their sound, look and entire persona in more extreme ways.
There is a strong argument that this might have been the greatest decade of all-time for popular music. Michael Jackson went Off The Wall, Eagles were checking out of Hotel California, The Bee Gees defined a Saturday Night Fever, Bruce was Born To Run, Carole King wove her Tapestry, Fleetwood Mac had their Rumours, The Beatles Let It Be, John Lennon Imagined… And we have still yet to mention to Queen, Elton, American Pie, The Carpenters, Marvin Gaye, Barry White, Sandy & Denny in Grease, Led Zeppelin climbing their Stairway to Heaven and Pink Floyd finding The Dark Side Of The Moon.
Probably the greatest decade for music ever. The 70s didn’t do things by halves!
