R-Truth Originally Tried to Get John Cena to Cut His Hair

R-Truth cutting his hair on the June 9th WWE RAW was a huge moment for his character, but it appears he had different plans when it came to that epic moment.

While speaking to The Ringer, R-Truth revealed that he was trying to get John Cena to cut his hair, but said that wasn’t going to happen, even though he thought it would’ve been amazing.

Truth joked how he and Cena are like brothers and even said they look alike. Truth went on to explain that Triple H eventually joined in on the fun. He mentioned how he and Road Dogg used to joke around about going bald, but deep down, Truth was actually a little bothered by it. He admitted he didn’t want anyone to know he was starting to lose his hair.

“I was actually trying to get Cena to cut my hair, but that was not gonna happen. That would’ve been fire.

Then I’m like, you know, Cena and I are brothers, we look alike, blah blah blah… Bro, then Hunter came up with this joke.

He said—’cause me and Road Dogg always joked about, ‘Yeah, we going bald,’ but deep down I’m like, ‘Damn, I’m going bald. I’m losing it.’ But I wasn’t gonna let them know that.”

At one point, Truth told Triple H he was getting “Ron Cena” shirts made and said Cena was going to be his twin. That’s when Triple H cracked a joke, saying it was easy to tell them apart because one of them was going bald on top and the other was going bald in the front. Truth said the joke popped and after that, he told them again they had to let him cut his hair.

“Then Hunter hit me with this joke. I told him, ‘Hey, I’m getting these Ron Cena shirts—Cena’s gonna be my brother, we’re twins!’ And he goes, ‘Oh we can’t tell y’all apart. Oh wait, we can—one’s going bald on the top, the other’s going bald in the front.’ I popped. Then I was like, ‘See, you gotta let me cut it.'”

This comes after R-Truth claimed that his feud with John Cena wasn’t over just yet. Nonetheless, fans feel John Cena cutting his hair might have been a bigger moment but what’s done is done. Now it remains to be seen whether Cena and Truth will have one last match before this year ends.
