John Cena: RAW superstar challenges WWE hero to WrestleMania match ahead of Royal Rumble
ELIAS continued his war of words with John Cena as he called him out for a WrestleMania 35 fight.
WWE.com shared a video feature presenting the five dream opponents that could take on Cena at WrestleMania on April 7 at the MetLife Stadium in New York.
The clip included the likes of Rey Mysterio, Braun Strowman, Drew McIntyre, Velveteen Dream and Brock Lesnar but it was Elias who threw down the gauntlet ahead of Mania.
The Drifter addressed the video on Twitter and hinted that he wants revenge from The Champ with whom he has crossed paths quite a few times in WWE.
The former NXT star claims The Leader of the Cenation has caused him grief in various occasions and that his moment to shine is coming.

“Never Give Up v Walk With Elias
“Choose your side.
“My moment is coming..”
That’s not the first time Elias has called Cena out as he recently stated that the WWE legend may be jealous of him and that’s why he’s been a thorn in his side.
The 31-year-old grappler believes his character has plenty of similarities to the 16-time world champion’s but what separates them is their mentality.
Elias said: “John Cena has been a thorn in my side almost my entire career.
“It seems like every big event, whatever it may be, he seems to pop up and make life tough for Elias.
“It probably comes down to jealousy.
“There are a lot of similarities in our careers: The music, the crowd [reactions], things like that.
“But the difference is our mentalities.
“He’s got the ‘Never Give Up’ mentality.
“It’s a very self-involved mentality.
“Whereas, I’m saying, ‘Walk with Elias. I’ll take care of you.’
“It’s just clashing philosophies.”
Cena and Elias are expected to compete in the Men’s Royal Rumble Match on January 27 at Chase Field in Phoenix, Arizona.
