R-Truth and John Cena in the ring

R-Truth and john Cena share a moment during a recent WWE event.

Earlier this year, R-Truth had the distinct prospect to compete against 16-time World champion John Cena on two occasions. these matches occurred as Cena navigated a storyline involving a heel persona and concurrently embarked on a farewell tour that continues to captivate fans.

First Encounter: The “Ron Cena” match

The initial confrontation between R-Truth and Cena unfolded during Saturday Night’s Main Event. In a playful twist, R-Truth impersonated Cena, adopting the moniker “ron Cena” and mimicking his iconic red shirt and jean shorts attire. This comedic approach provided a lighthearted moment during Cena’s extended run.

A More Serious Challenge

their second meeting on “WWE SmackDown” assumed a more serious tone. R-Truth wrestled Cena under his known persona, Ron Killings, following a contentious departure from WWE over the summer.This encounter carried added weight, representing a meaningful opportunity for both performers.

In a recent interview, R-Truth expressed his gratitude for these encounters with his longtime colleague. He described feeling “tickled pink,” humbled,and deeply honored by the chance to share the ring with Cena during this pivotal phase of his career.

“It’s a humbling thing,” R-Truth stated. “I feel honored. I feel appreciated. I feel like a lot of fans know the history we’ve had. People have paid attention. There are so many things that go around with that. It’s hard to pick one good emotion out of it.”

R-Truth has since transitioned back to his more comical character, although he has not appeared in a televised match since last July. Cena’s farewell tour is approaching its conclusion, with a planned appearance on November 10, and speculation mounting that his final match may occur against Gunther at Saturday Night’s Main Event on December 13.
