RJ City Is Still Not ‘All Elite', But He Just Got The Next Best Thing
RJ City works for All Elite Wrestling. He hosts a great YouTube show called 'Hey! (EW)' on the weekends. Tony Khan has also credited him as being his 'right-hand man' for launching the incredibly successful 'Timeless' Toni Storm character and storyline with Mariah May. However, RJ City is still not truly 'All Elite' because he never got a graphic on social media. Advertisement That's right, the man who once drank coffee in his underwear with 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin is still not completely Elite. AEW's Chauffeur Boz aimed to fix that. Boz has been responsible for getting many surprise AEW debuts to the arena. He's driven names like Saraya, Kazuchika Okada, Shelton Benjamin and a recent addition in Josh Alexander. Boz wanted to do something nice for the graphic-less RJ City, and gave him a ride and one of his customary 'how it's going' shout-outs on social media. 'Sometimes us drivers like to do good deeds…since @RJCity1 never got his AEW graphic, I figured I'd do the best I could for him after an amazing #AEWDoN #AEW,' Boz wrote on Twitter/X. Advertisement Don't worry, RJ. Willem eventually saw the sailboat, and we're sure you'll get an All Elite graphic one day too.
