John Cena has been a ruthless force on his farewell tour and has the Undisputed WWE Championship firmly in his grasp. The Unseen 17 is coming off a huge win, defeating his longtime rival, Randy Orton, at WWE Backlash in his hometown of St. Louis, Missouri. However, the events that took place at the event and at the post-show set the tone for Cena's next match in the Stamford-based promotion. Who is John Cena's next opponent in WWE? On May 16th, 2025, the edition of Friday Night SmackDown, commentator Wade Barrett sat down with R-Truth for an interview to discuss John Cena's actions at WWE Backlash. In the final moments of his match against Randy Orton, Truth rushed to the ring to save his childhood hero from getting punt kicked by The Viper. That distraction ultimately led to Orton losing the match to Cena in the last in-ring showdown between the two WWE stalwarts. At the Backlash post-show conference, John Cena was answering the media when R-Truth interrupted him. He brought up some remarks by the WWE Universe about Cena, which left him angered and he put Truth through the media table. Barrett asked about the same and Truth, in his classic confused style, took the conversation somewhere else. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The Cost Of Amusement Park Equipment From Mexico Might Surprise You Amusement Park Equipment | search ads Click Here Undo However, he did mention that the man who put him through the table was not his child hero John Cena. That man stood for Hustle, Loyalty and Respect and this Cena was not that guy.

Right after the interview, the match was made official for the event, although it will be a non-title bout. The stage has been set for two WWE veterans to collide at the vintage show. So it remains to be seen if Truth made another mistake in agreeing for this bout against the evil John Cena.
