And he's back...without his singlet on. Elias is about to get out of the ring but he weighs in his options and gets back in. He has a standoff with The Phenom. He turns around and then runs towards The Undertaker, only to eat a boot to the face. He then gets chokeslammed and then tombstoned.

Elias starts a rap of his own dissing Cena, and his last line is "The next one who interrupts me is a Deadman"...and guess who it is - The Deadman. THE UNDERTAKER IS BACK!

Elias calls John Cena a "fake humble" so-called musician John Cena is.
