– On last Monday’s Raw from Chicago, Illinois, Elias opened up the show in a segment with John Cena in which the pair had a physical altercation that led to a match.

Cena came out first to welcome the crowd to the special Christmas Day episode of Raw before Elias followed and insisted on performing for the Chicago crowd. Elias then said that he refused to be interrupted by anybody.

The crowd then began to chant for their native son, former WWE Champion CM Punk. Elias responded by saying, “I’ll tell you one thing, John. It’s for damn sure CM Punk ain’t gonna interrupt me!”

Cena then put over the chant, saying Chicago loves fellow Chicagoians and to let them have fun.

WWE officials were not pleased with this. Afterwards backstage, Elias was told not to bring up the name of CM Punk in the future.
