John Cena kicked off last night’s episode of WWE Raw in a thunderous reaction. In these days, the audience is nearly eating him alive with loud boos reserved for him.
Last night was no exception as the audience chanted, “John Cena sucks” throughout his entrance and even while he was starting to talk. It was a promo for the upcoming Elimination Chamber match.
After almost five years, the Cenation Leader is included into the prime title picture heading into Wrestlemania.
So, he noted by saying that the only way that he could make it to the biggest event of the year is by winning the match to be held inside the demonic steel structure and then go on to face the beast incarnate for the Universal Championship.
THAT’S RIGHT, @JohnCena! #ICChampion @mikethemiz isn’t afraid to cross the line OR go one-on-one with #TheBeast @BrockLesnar at #WrestleMania! #WWEChamber pic.twitter.com/LFQT7v200l

The Miz cut the 16-time world champion saying that it was not 2013 anymore where he competed against The Rock for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.
It is The Miz’s year where he is supposed to win the Elimination Chamber match and face Brock Lesnar. Then he will walk out of New Orleans by being the first-ever Intercontinental and Universal Champion, at the same time.
Miz also brought out the context of outsmarting Cena at the grandest stage of them all back in the year 2011 where he actually defeated the franchise player for the WWE title.
The heated confrontation then set up a match between these two superstars courtesy of Kurt Angle in the opening contest of WWE Raw.

Initially, the IC champ was not looking forward to competing in a match but the Raw Gm walked out to confirm it and make it official.
Also, it was stated that the loser of the contest will have to start the Elimination Chamber match. The Miztourage was banned from ringside which is why Miz could not pull off his dirty tricks, effectively.

He hit the skull crushing finale but Cena managed to kick out of that. While Miz was going for a move from the top rope, Cena caught him and delivered a devastating Attitude Adjustment to come up as the winner.
As a result of this match, the Hollywood A-lister will have to start the Chamber match which will not be a good experience for him, at all.
