We Riot If R-Truth Doesn’t Defeat John Cena At SNME, Giulia & LA Knight Headed To Their Respective WWE Money In The 2025 Ladder Matches
On this week’s episode of WWE SmackDown, R-Truth stepped into the spotlight to deliver a message ahead of his clash with John Cena at Saturday Night’s Main Event.
Truth reflected on the irony of facing his childhood idol. He said, “I grew up cheering for John Cena. But I don’t even recognize the man standing in front of me now.”
Truth accused Cena of losing himself to power and ego, likening him to Gollum obsessed with the Undisputed WWE Championship — his new “precious.” Truth declared that he’s not just fighting for a win; he’s fighting to save wrestling. He vowed to beat the ideals of Hustle, Loyalty, and Respect back into the man who once inspired millions.
Truth ended his message with a bold proclamation – “I miss my hero, I won’t lie. So come Saturday… if Cena wins — we riot.”
“I don’t know if I can bring you back, but I can try.”
We believe in you, R-Truth! 👏#SNME #SmackDown pic.twitter.com/g5MHMDnULb
