John Cena is set to compete in the final Elimination Chamber match of his career this Saturday in Toronto. After falling short in the Royal Rumble, The Cenation Leader is determined to secure a victory in this high-stakes showdown. However, he has drawn the attention of a ruthless Drew McIntyre, who isn’t missing any chance to take shots at the 16-time WWE Champion.

WWE shared an Instagram post showcasing how each competitor qualified for the Elimination Chamber match. While others were shown earning their spots through competition, John Cena was simply presented announcing his entry. The Scottish Warrior took a jab at this, pointing out how the post featured action-packed clips followed by Cena’s inclusion, despite him not competing to qualify.

It seems McIntyre takes issue with The Cenation Leader securing his Elimination Chamber spot without competing for it. Recently, the 39-year-old star unleashed a scathing rant on social media, vowing to crush Cena’s hopes of main eventing WrestleMania. Adding to the insult, McIntyre even claimed that including Sydney Sweeney in the match would be a better choice than having Cena compete.

Moreover, Cena has never faced Drew McIntyre in a singles match in WWE. If their rivalry intensifies, speculation suggests WWE could book them in a high-stakes showdown at WrestleMania. Such a matchup would serve as a fitting sendoff for Cena against a dominant heel while giving McIntyre a blockbuster feud to capitalize on after significant backlash from the fans.

Drew McIntyre isn’t the only one setting his sights on John Cena ahead of the Elimination Chamber. Cena’s longtime rival, CM Punk, has also expressed his eagerness to share the ring with The Franchise Player inside the steel structure. In a cryptic Instagram story, The Best in the World hinted at targeting Cena in this high-stakes battle, adding another layer of intrigue to the match.

Punk shared an Instagram story featuring his 2013 match against Cena, their last singles encounter in WWE history. He added a cryptic caption about seeing Cena in Canada, hyping their upcoming clash inside the Elimination Chamber. This subtle tease has sparked excitement among fans eager to see the two legends collide once again.

The Straight Edge Superstar and The Cenation Leader briefly crossed paths during the Royal Rumble match. However, with a star-studded field, they didn’t get the chance to reignite their rivalry. Now, at Elimination Chamber, they battle for a chance to face Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 41.
