Elias Says WWE Had Cancelled His Big Matches Against John Cena And The Undertaker
Elias returned to WWE last week on Raw and attacked Jeff Hardy with guitar during the match against Seth Rollins and AJ Styles.
The Drifter Elias recently had an interview with Sports Illustrated. During the interview he revealed that he was originally set to face The Undertaker at Saudi Arabia and John Cena at WrestleMania 36, but things have changed, that Matches didn’t happen.
“New Orleans, I’m in the mix with John and the Undertaker. The next year, I’m in there with John and the Undertaker again—John at WrestleMania, the Undertaker the night next on Raw. I was supposed to go on and face the Undertaker at the show in Saudi Arabia. That never ended up happening because of Goldberg, but that was supposed to be my match. The year after was supposed to be myself against John Cena at WrestleMania in a three-year running story. Things obviously changed and that didn’t end up happening.”
At Saudi Arabia, The Undertaker faced Goldberg instead of Elias and John Cena face The Fiend Bray Wyatt in Firefly Fun House Match at WrestleMania 36. Previously, John Cena interrupted the Elias concert at WrestleMania 35, bought the Doctor of Thuganomics gimmick.
Elias currently involved in feud with Jeff Hardy for hitting him with car on May. But this week on Raw, Jeff Hardy attacked Elias and stated that he didn’t hit him with car months ago.
