John Cena Vs R-Truth Reportedly Planned for WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event – John Cena’s path as Undisputed WWE Champion may soon lead him into an unexpected showdown with longtime fan-favorite R-Truth. According to a report from Cory Hays of Bodyslam.net, WWE is currently planning a match between Cena and R-Truth for the May 24, 2025, edition of WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event in Tampa, Florida.
The development follows the events of WWE Backlash: St. Louis, where R-Truth made a surprise appearance during the Cena vs. Randy Orton main event. Truth attempted to prevent Orton from delivering a punt kick to Cena, only to be met with an RKO. Cena then capitalized and retained his title. However, his post-match actions escalated tensions—during the Backlash post-show press conference, Cena shockingly put R-Truth through a table, cementing what now appears to be a developing feud.
As of now, it remains unclear whether Cena’s Undisputed WWE Championship will be on the line in Tampa. However, Cena is already advertised for the May 24 show, and the angle suggests a personal grudge match may be in store. The upcoming confrontation also marks a notable chapter in their long history, as Cena and Truth last squared off in a televised singles match in June 2011 on RAW, where Truth pulled off an upset victory in a tables match.
The storyline has drawn interest not just for the matchup itself, but also for its emotional undercurrent. R-Truth has often spoken about Cena being one of his idols, and WWE has leaned into this dynamic with recent storytelling. The unexpected violence from Cena, now firmly portraying a heel, has added a dramatic twist to the rivalry.
Meanwhile, John Cena Sr. recently confirmed that his son’s final WWE match is scheduled to take place in December 2025 in Boston, raising questions about how many more marquee matches Cena will participate in before his retirement.
As noted earlier, John Cena’s 17th World Title reign is expected to continue into summer, with WWE reportedly committed to a long-term heel storyline for the Undisputed Champion. Whether or not the title is at stake, Cena vs. Truth on May 24 looks to be a pivotal moment in the champion’s current run.
