It’s official. R-Truth will face his ‘childhood hero’ John Cena at Saturday Night’s Main Event next weekend in Tampa, Florida.
Truth sat down with SmackDown commentator Wade Barrett Friday night and said that he had already made all the arraignments with General Manager Nick Aldis.
There was no mention of the WWE Championship being on the line, but R-Truth’s motivations for asking for this match have nothing to do with gold. He said the man who gave him an AA through a table during the Backlash Press Conference was not the John Cena he idolizes.
Truth believes that the real John Cena would never turn his back on one of his most loyal supporters, and while he doesn’t want to do it, he’s ready to beat some sense back into the Never Seen 17-Time World Champion.
Cena vs. R-Truth wasn’t the only match that was made official for Saturday Night’s Main Event. Moments after Truth’s sit down with Wade Barrett, WWE aired a pre-recorded promo from Damian Priest.
The Archer of Infamy said he wanted to settle things with Drew McIntyre once and for all and he challenged the Scottish Warrior to a Steel Cage Match.
McIntyre would later cut an in-ring promo and passionately accepted the challenge. Drew said one man would leave the cage on their feet. The other would leave on a stretcher.
