TNA Wrestling is out here making actual impact moves, folks! On Thursday’s live TNA iMPACT, the wrestling world witnessed the surprise debut of Elijah—formerly known as WWE’s guitar-strumming drifter, Elias. And how did he announce his arrival? The only way he knows how: through the power of song.
TNA: Where Concerts Break Out Before Fights
The night started off with TNA World Champion Joe Hendry doing what he does best—randomly breaking into song on live television. But before he could finish his latest chart-topper, former WWE tag team Primo and Epico Colon crashed the party, making it clear they weren’t here to pop the crowd—they were here for business.
Just as things looked like they were about to get violent, the lights flickered (a surefire sign in wrestling that someone is debuting), and BOOM—Elijah appeared, guitar in hand, dropping the biggest verse of the night:
“Hello, TNA… I am here to stay.”
Okay, we may have paraphrased that, but the point stands—Elijah is officially All… TNA?
Confirmed Signing, But No Word on Contract Length
Shortly after his musical grand entrance, Fightful Select confirmed that Elijah has officially signed a deal with TNA Wrestling. No word yet on the length of the contract, but given TNA’s recent hot streak of signing ex-WWE talent (shoutout to Mustafa Ali, Nic Nemeth, and Ash By Elegance), it’s clear the company is beefing up its roster for a serious run.
Elijah’s First Match? Not Yet—But He Did Set One Up
After singing his way into the company, TNA’s Director of Authority, Santino Marella, set up a tag team main event:
🎸 Joe Hendry & Santino Marella vs. Primo & Epico Colon
Unfortunately, Elijah didn’t step into the ring just yet—but don’t worry, folks, the Walk With Elijah era is officially upon us.
Elijah’s Post-WWE Journey
Since his WWE departure in September 2023, Elijah has been keeping busy on the independent scene, appearing in promotions like:
✅ Wrestling Revolver
✅ International Wrestling Cartel
✅ World Series Wrestling
Most recently, he was spotted in a social media teaser with The Righteous, a faction tied to AEW and Ring of Honor. However, it looks like AEW’s loss is TNA’s gain, and Elijah will now be strumming his way through the Impact Zone.
Final Thoughts: Can Elijah Hit the Right Notes in TNA?
With his undeniable charisma and 100% shoot musical ability, Elijah could be one of TNA’s most entertaining signings in years. Will he drift into a main event push? Or will he just keep strumming along? One thing’s for sure—TNA just got a little louder.
