WWE news: Elias challenges The Rock to face him at WrestleMania 35 ahead of Hell in a Cell

The Drifter has been calling Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson out for two months ever since the Hollywood star stated that he is keen to come back to the ring.

The former NXT star claims he can outshine The Great One with his musical skills and insists his Rock concerts can’t be compared to his performances.

Elias told Gorilla Position: “I hear all kinds of comparisons of The Rock.

“Of course, he played guitar a few times on Monday Night Raw and if he wants to meet at WrestleMania and come walk with Elias, I’m more than welcome to show him how it’s done.

“Here’s the thing, okay? He put out a few Monday Night Raws [with a guitar], he did The Rock concerts, and everybody thinks he’s great.

“He did cover songs, okay? He ripped off Wonderful Tonight and Jailhouse Rock.

“Elias is doing originals every single week in front of millions of people around the world.

“I’ve got an album out, a documentary out, I’m performing in front of tens of thousands live at all of the events. So The Rock can’t do what I do.”

Elias has gained tremendous popularity ever since his debut last year and receives a lot of cheers even though he performs as a heel (bad guy) and constantly insults the crowd.

He has previously challenged The Rock to come back and show him how it’s done in the ring.

He told Busted Open Radio: “I am well aware of all the things The Rock has done in the wrestling business and just in life man. The guy is just a next-level human being.

“You know, but I always get these comparisons because he played guitar a few times, or whatever, on television.

“I just want to throw this out there – he’s done that maybe five times, maybe six times or something like that on WWE television on Monday Night RAW, but Rock if you’re out there listening, I’m doing it every single week.

“I’m doing it in front of millions of people around the world every single week. I’m doing it in front of tens of thousands in person live at every show I go to.

“So why don’t you come walk with Elias and I can show you how it’s really done. WWE is my company, it’s my show. Come on back Rock.”

The Rock has been linked with a return on Smackdown’s 1000th episode and is also the favourite to win next year’s Men’s Royal Rumble Match.
