Nine Year Old WWE Signee Drax Shadow Admitted to the Hospital, Cody Rhodes Comments

July 31, 2016

Nine year old Elijah Mainville, aka Drax Shadow, who was signed to an honorary WWE contract last year, was admitted into the PICU yesterday according to a social media post by his mother. Mainville’s mother noted her son, who suffers from neuroblastoma, has low sodium levels and doctors are not exactly sure of the cause. Mainville is currently dehydrated and hasn’t eaten in a week, which may be a reaction from a medical study in raising his T cells.

Cody Rhodes, who was present at Manville’s WWE contract signing as Stardust was Mainville’s favorite WWE star, posted the following on Twitter.

On behalf of the entire WZ staff, I would like to wish Mainville and his family the very best of luck in this difficult time:
