John Cena acknowledged the chant for R-Truth during SmackDown tonight.
The wrestling icon surprised fans with his recent release from WWE on June 1st, a decision that left many unhappy. Since the announcement, fans have consistently voiced their displeasure by chanting R-Truth’s name at every WWE event. Even CM Punk embraced the chant during Monday’s RAW.
On tonight’s SmackDown, Cena responded to the “We Want Truth” chant mid-show by grabbing the microphone and saying, “You can’t handle the truth.”
Earlier in the night, Cena teamed up with Logan Paul to defeat Cody Rhodes and World Heavyweight Champion Jey Uso. When Cena entered the ring, Rhodes and Uso were already present, but Cena requested a formal introduction from the ring announcer. Suddenly, Logan Paul attacked Jey Uso from behind. Cody Rhodes attempted to fight back, but Cena intercepted him. Logan Paul took advantage of the chaos to overpower the opponents. The segment ended with Logan Paul holding up the World Heavyweight title and Cena raising the WWE Championship.
Fan Take: This moment highlights the powerful connection between WWE superstars and their fans, showing how deeply they care about roster changes. Cena’s acknowledgment of R-Truth’s chant not only honors a beloved wrestler but also keeps the spirit of the sport alive, potentially shaping future storylines and fan engagement.
