Seattle fans revolt over Elias’ SuperSonics jab on ‘RAW’

Elias Kevin Owens

If there’s one thing you don’t do, it’s take a shot at Seattle over the loss of their SuperSonics. WWE’s Elias learned that the hard way.

Elias and Kevin Owens were in the ring for a segment prior to Owens’ match with Bobby Lashley on “Monday Night Raw” in Seattle’s Key Arena.

Owens said something about Bobby Lashley teaming with John Cena not making sense. Elias responded with his jab, saying a basketball team in Seattle does not make sense. The fans in attendance proceeded to let Elias hear it with boos:

The boos were so hard they continued for several minutes and essentially prevented Elias from carrying on with the rest of his segment.

Fans watching the show on TV reacted immediately on Twitter:

Seattle has not had an NBA team since the Sonics left for Oklahoma City in 2008. They got one year of Kevin Durant as a rookie when the team won 20 games. The franchise proceeded to draft Russell Westbrook, James Harden and Serge Ibaka, forming the cornerstone of one of the best teams in the league. The fans in the area take the matter seriously, as this T-shirt company, and now Elias, could tell you.
