John Cena Set to Face R-Truth at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event

You never know what can happen when R-Truth is a part of the situation, and the May 16 edition of WWE SmackDown included a memorable segment for fans of the veteran WWE Superstar. The First Horizon Coliseum in Greensboro, North Carolina played host to the night’s events, and that included a sit-down interview with Truth.

John Cena shocked the pro wrestling world when he turned his time during the conference after Backlash into a promo with R-Truth. He AA’ed his longtime fan through a table, but this week, R-Truth had something to say about it.

Wade Barrett had a chance to sit down with R-Truth this week on SmackDown to pick his brain. He wanted to get Truth’s thoughts on what went down at Backlash, which included R-Truth getting involved in the WWE World Title match with Randy Orton.

R-Truth said during that time on SmackDown that he was inspired by John Cena for years to never quit. He remembered how hustle, loyalty, and respect resonated with him as a “beacon of light.”

When Wade Barrett pointed out how crazy it was that John Cena repaid R-Truth at Backlash by putting him through a table. Truth said that wasn’t John Cena, because that John couldn’t put him through a table.

Then R-Truth said that he doesn’t want to fight John Cena, but he is willing to beat him back to his senses. That is when he revealed that he has already spoken to SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis, and the match is set for Saturday Night Main Event on May 24.

We will have to see what happens in the future. For all we know, John Cena and R-Truth could tear the house down with the proper build.
