Former WWE Champion Makes Bold Promise to John Cena Ahead of Elimination Chamber

Drew McIntyre issued a direct warning to John Cena ahead of their Elimination Chamber confrontation this Saturday. The Scottish Warrior shared a video on social media addressing Cena’s inclusion in the match despite not competing in a qualifying bout.

In his pointed message, McIntyre questioned whether Cena’s long-promoted values were genuine principles or simply catchphrases, citing his automatic placement in the premium live event as contradictory to the work ethic Cena champions.

This time last year, just over a year ago, my path to WrestleMania was even more unclear than it is right now, and look what happened. It starts all again this Saturday. And in Toronto, I’m going to make sure that you’re kept safe John [Cena] inside that Chamber, until it’s my time to bury you.

McIntyre’s warning comes with significant momentum behind his claim, as he aims to capture his third career victory in the Elimination Chamber structure. His declaration follows a contentious match on Friday’s SmackDown, where he suffered a defeat against Jimmy Uso.

Despite the loss, McIntyre immediately retaliated after the contest, attacking Uso and delivering a Claymore to the veteran. This aggressive post-match response demonstrates McIntyre’s current mindset heading into the high-stakes Toronto showdown.

The impending chamber match represents a critical opportunity for both competitors, with the winner potentially securing a major role at WrestleMania. McIntyre’s confidence stems from his previous success in the structure, while Cena enters the match as a wildcard without the qualification process other participants endured.
