John Cena made a brutal statement at the WWE Backlash press conference, and it was all about setting up his next big match. After successfully retaining his Undisputed WWE Championship against Randy Orton, Cena confronted R-Truth in a moment that quickly turned violent.
During the press conference, R-Truth approached Cena and praised him, saying, Youre still the greatest, even though people say you cant wrestle. But that didnt sit well with Cena, who told Truth to keep quiet or things would get ugly. When Truth spoke up again, Cena snapped, hoisting R-Truth up and delivering a vicious Attitude Adjustment through the title belt, leaving Truth laid out on the stage.
This intense moment wasnt just about Cenas frustration it was the catalyst for a match set for WWE Saturday Nights Main Event in Tampa, FL. It was previously reported that R-Truth will face his childhood hero John Cena in whats being described as a personal showdown between the former friends.
Earlier, R-Truth admitted that he wasnt sure if Cena would ever take him seriously as a challenger, saying, A match between me and John Cena? Only way we can see that though, dog, its gotta be the right way. I dont know, man. I would love it, but I dont know man, he did some wrong stuff.
With Cena now fully embracing his heel persona and R-Truth looking to prove himself, the upcoming clash is set to be a heated confrontation with plenty of history behind it.
