Back in October, WWE came to Philly for an episode of Monday Night RAW in which WWE superstar Elias made quite an impact with his song that trashed Philly and, most notably, Gritty.

Fast forward to Monday night, WWE was back in Philly for another episode of Monday Night RAW as we’re on the Road to WrestleMania. And while the show was all right overall, the segment of the night came from Elias once again, who poured it on Philly and their sports teams in another song that was even better this time around. You can watch the video and read the transcription below.

“You know how I know I’m in Philly?
Because the Stanley Cup is nowhere to be found.“You know how I know I’m in Philly?
Cause everyone here takes such pride in their city.“You know how I know I’m in Philly?
Cause everyone’s mom looks like that googly-eyed slob Gritty.“You know how I know I’m in Philly?
Cause everyone I see is a fat load.“You know how I know I’m in Philly?
Cause I saw an Eagles fan eating horse manure on the side of the road.“But you really wanna know how I know I’m in Philly?
Cause the children here have no future no matter how hard they try.“But you wanna know how I know I’m in Philly?
Cause Bryce Harper told me this is where his career would go to die.”
Good work, Elias.
Elias is a Pittsburgh native, so you know he’s gotta have some fun putting these songs together for the Philly crowd, and you can see the smirk at the end of this one that was just too much to hide.
