4. Possible Recipient of Warrior Award 2017

Below is a statement issued by WWE:

WWE remembers Elijah Mainville aka “Drax Shadow”
WWE extends its deepest condolences to the family of Elijah Mainville, aka “Drax Shadow,” who passed away on Jan. 8 at age 9.
In August 2015 after submitting a Tough Enough audition video, Elijah joined Triple H, Stephanie McMahon and Stardust inside the ring to sign an honorary WWE Tough Enough contract before Monday Night Raw, taking the name “Drax Shadow.”
Elijah was diagnosed with Stage 4 neuroblastoma in November 2010.

It looks like Elijah will be named as the Warrior Award 2017 recipient (just like Connor Michalek was named the first recepient of the Warrior Award in 2015).
