WWE WrestleMania 34: 10 Most Insane Things That Happened!
5. The Undertaker Squashes A Tipsy John Cena In Less Than Three Minutes
WHO WANTS TO GET WORKED BY ELIAS?
This was magnificent. John Cena's WrestleMania 34 story played out as follows: he sat in different seats throughout the Kickoff and the undercard, somewhat undermining WWE's "record sell-out" ballyhoo, not least because the company again fabricated a further 13,000 (!) people. Cena, new to Hollywood, clearly hasn't chosen the method approach. Every time the camera captured him, he clocked on after a second and reacted to everything with a sort of wild-eyed puzzlement. Then, a referee charged the floor to advise him that his challenge had been answered...
...by, as it turned out, Elias, whose strumming in the dark was a priceless bait-and-switch moment.
When Cena dispatched of him, his real opponent appeared, mercifully not played to the ring by Kid Rock. And then, in a very strange but no less welcome development, the Undertaker squashed him in under three minutes. Cena performed an horrendous bump from 'Taker's big boot, but then again, in the storylines at least, he'd had a few. 'Taker's sit-up spot was a great little moment, mind. So, to summarise, 'Taker defeated a p*ssed-up John Cena in a squash match after interrupting a comedy segment. This was the legendary encounter fans had waited years to see.
Given the limitations of the Dead Man, this was a far better idea than it reads.
