Elias Says He Could ‘Outshine’ The Rock, Talks Learning Play the Guitar, Who He Wants to Face at WrestleMania

WWE Raw star Elias recently spoke with The New York Post and below are some interview highlights:

On learning to play guitar:

“[My dad] thought I would like it and he happened to be right, and I started to teach myself how to play it — trying to learn Eric Clapton songs,” Elias said in a phone interview. “It’s just constantly evolved from that point on to where it is now.”

On if he could outshine The Rock in WWE:

“I think without a doubt I’d outshine The Rock because he can’t do quite what I do, but he is good at the guitar and he’s got some chops to him, so I don’t think you need to think about it too much,” he said. “I think something like that could happen in the future. I’m going to put that on The Rock. I’ll leave that up to him.”

On who he would like to have a WrestleMania match against:

“I can see myself having a great WrestleMania match with John Cena, with Chris Jericho,” Elias said. “I wouldn’t mind mixing it up with Braun after what he did to me last week. Get me to the stage and I’ll take it from there.”
