We'll all get used to it, I mean how weird do these sound now? Big E Langston Alexander Rusev Antonio Cesaro Adrian Neville Rusev and Big E are better off for having just one name, but I still call Cesaro and Neville by their full names. I only call them by their full names when they're in really big trouble.

From a gimmick standpoint it makes sense. Larger than life rockstars drop their last names all the time. In his head, that's how he sees himself. Especially now that he is on the main roster. It's a total douche move, which fits Elias. Like who? Axel Rose, Trent Reznor, Dave Grohl, Billie Joe Armstrong, Ozzy Osbourne (that one I might give you), James Hetfield, Mick Jagger, Gene Simmons, David Lee Roth, Jimi Hendrix, David Bowie, Kurt Cobain, Eddie Vedder, Robert Plant & Jimmy Paige, Paul McCartney, Steven Tyler, Anthony Kiedis, Jim Morrison, Chris Cornell, Freddie Mercury, Alice Cooper, Layne Staley, Angus Young, Nikki Sixx, Tommy Lee & Vince Neil, Scott Weiland, Pete Townshend, Roger Waters... Flea, Bono, Slash, Sting and Lemmy are all nicknames. Guys like Elvis and Bon Jovi became so famous that one name was enough (in a revered, non douchey way). So if he was changing his name to the Drifter I could see it. It works for pop stars, Prince, Beyonce, Usher, Rihanna, but he doesn't sing pop songs. I don't know, I just don't feel like that's a thing that happens anywhere but in WWE, honestly. I don't really care about his name. Guy sucks and he's going to be gone in no time. This seems a little bit like caring.

They should have Elias play some Jimi Hendrix every RAW. Kinda like when Hogan came out to Voodoo Child, that crap was legit. That'll get him over in a right hurry.
