• RAW Star Calls Out The Rock, Mocks Him On Twitter

RAW Superstar Elias appeared on Busted Open Radio last week. Elias discussed being compared to The Rock and his live performances. He also called out The Great One to show him how it’s really done.

“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 on television or whatever.

I just want to throw this out there – he’s done that 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 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.”

As we previously reported, The Rock told Cathy Kelley in his recent interview that he can’t wait to return to a WWE ring. Elias can be a pretty great opponent for the former WWF Champion if he ever returns for a match.

After calling out The Rock during his interview on Thursday, Elias took to Twitter to call out The Great One again.

Will The Rock accept his challenge? Time will tell what’s in store for Elias.
