John Cena wasnt finished with R-Truth quite yet, but after that, he had a lot more to say.
The June 20 episode of WWE SmackDown was a big show. They rolled into the Van Andel Arena in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and that included another stop on John Cenas retirement tour.
Ron Killings is back in WWE, and thats no secret. He also has it out for John Cena now more than ever. R-Truth had another chance to face his childhood hero tonight on SmackDown.
The Cena vs Truth match was the main event of the night for SmackDown this week. WWE ring announcer Mark Nash also provided Cena with a very special ring introduction.
Truth got started in a hurry with a tackle and a flurry of punches. Then he beat Cena around the ringside area for a bit. Then they got into the ring as the show cut to a commercial break. During the commercial, John Cena gained control via the picture-in-picture screen. By the time we came back, the 17-time World Champion was in full control once again.
By the time we came back, Cena was hitting a 5 Knuckle Shuffle on Truth, but Ron Killings got out of an Attitude Adjustment. Truth then mounted an offense. Cena got out of the ring at that point and looked like he was taking his title and walking off, but Truth stopped him.
Suddenly, John Cena nailed R-Truth with his title, and the referee called for the bell. CM Punk came out at that point and ran Cena back into the ring. The two had a physical altercation after that, where Punk raised the title up high before Cena kicked him below the belt.
John Cena pulled a Slim Jim branded table out from under the ring after that. Then Punk got up and Cena hit him with the title before he nailed an AA through the table. John Cena grabbed a microphone after that and he proceeded to cut a promo on Punk as he sat on the top turnbuckle and Punk was laid out on the mat through a table.
Cena then cut a pipebomb like promo on Punk. He said he likes CM Punk, more than anyone hes shared a lockerroom with. He hates the idea that Punk thinks hes Best in the World. Then Cena said hes only better than him at one thing, youre the best bullsh*tter in the world. At that point, Cena addressed his profanity and even broke the fourth wall by waving at the camera.
As Punk laid on the mat, Cena said that hes pawned off a myth to fans that hes the best in the world. He chastised fans for singing for Punk, but they dont believe a goddamn thing you say because they change their values more than I change my t-shirts. At that point, Cena waved hello to Claudio Castagnoli, Nic Nemeth and Matt Cardona. Fans reacted in a big way to that.
John Cena then said that CM Punk is Mr TKO, and his tweets are strong, but his actions are weak. He then said that Punk will face some very loud music in Saudi Arabia when Cena proves that he is the greatest of all time. At that point, fans started chanting for Cena. At that point, Cena won the crowd over. He said that the fans are welcome, and they chanted for him. WWE SmackDown closed out with CM Punk still laying there after John Cena made his point very clear. Cena closed things out early, as he told USA Network to keep their extra two and a half minutes before thanking Punk for letting him rip off his promo to make him look foolish.
We will keep a close eye on this story to see if anything new happens. After all, R-Truth set the pro wrestling world on fire when his WWE contract expired, and the company had to re-sign him in a hurry. With CM Punk and John Cenas match at Night of Champions around the corner, only time will tell what happens next.
