Honorary WWE Star Drax Shadow Passes Away, Cody Rhodes Comments

In the summer of 2015, Elijah Mainville signed a contract in the middle of the ring after Raw and he became a honorary WWE Superstar. Elijah adopted the name Drax Shadow, and his favorite wrestler, Stardust, celebrated with him in the ring after the contract was signed.

In 2010 Elijah was diagnosed with neuroblastoma cancer but unfortunately he lost the fight against the disease on Sunday night.

A GoFundMe page has been set up by Elijah Mainville’s family, and all proceeds will go to paying for his funeral. The page has almost reached its $10,000 goal, and if you would like to donate you can do so by clicking here.

Cody Rhodes had a special connection with Elijah Mainville thanks to the fact that Stardust was his favorite wrestler, and Cody took to Twitter to thank Elijah for having a positive impact on his life.

Our thoughts and condolences go out to Elijah Mainville’s family and friends. If you would like to keep in touch with the fundraising efforts for his funeral and more you can visit the Elijah Kickin Neuroblastoma Facebook page here.

If you feel brave enough you can watch the video of Triple H and Stephanie McMahon inviting Elijah Mainville to Raw below, but just a fair warning, you will get teary-eyed.
