Elias Replacing Samoa Joe In John Cena Feud, "Woken" Matt Hardy Teasing Surprises, Sonya On Her Win

- WWE has reportedly decided that Elias will be replacing Samoa Joe in the Royal Rumble feud with John Cena. Joe was removed from the road recently after suffering an injury to his foot and is expected to be out of action for several months. Elias cut a promo on last night's Raw and had words for Cena as they prepare for the upcoming Rumble match. The original plan was for Joe and Cena to work WWE Live events leading up to WrestleMania. 

-"Woken" Matt Hardy is teasing we may be seeing Senor Benjamin, Queen Rebecca Hardy, King Maxel and other "Broken" characters in WWE soon for The Great War with Bray Wyatt. He tweeted:

The INCOMPARABLE @BenjaminSenor is currently OPTIMIZING the green beans within the Greenhouse Garden at The Hardy Compound..

Trust me, #WOKENWarriors.. #SenorBenjamin, Queen Rebecca, King Maxel, Lord Wolfgang & @Vanguard1AAR will all be appearing IMMINENTLY..
