R-Truth Vs John Cena Official for WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event on May 24 – A deeply personal showdown is set for WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event on May 24, as R-Truth will face John Cena in a singles match that has evolved from admiration to confrontation.
The match was made official during the May 16 episode of WWE SmackDown, where R-Truth sat down with Wade Barrett and announced that he had spoken with SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis to secure the bout. The catalyst was Cena’s shocking betrayal at the WWE Backlash post-show press conference, where he put Truth through a table after Truth had just helped him retain the Undisputed WWE Championship against Randy Orton.
R-Truth, who has idolized Cena for years and frequently cited him as an inspiration, expressed a conflicted determination during the interview. He vowed to take everything Cena taught him—especially about “never giving up”—and use it to beat up Cena, not out of hatred, but to “save him from himself” as Cena continues his farewell tour.
Despite the deep personal stakes, the match is not being billed as a title defense for the Undisputed WWE Championship, which Cena still holds after his controversial win at Backlash.
The event lineup for Saturday Night’s Main Event continues to grow, featuring high-profile matches including:
- WWE World Heavyweight Championship: Jey Uso (c) vs. Logan Paul
- CM Punk & Sami Zayn vs. Seth Rollins & Bron Breakker
- Steel Cage Match: Damian Priest vs. Drew McIntyre
- R-Truth vs. John Cena
- Tatanka is also advertised to appear
- Lilian Garcia will serve as guest ring announcer
