Cena seemingly showed a few glimpses of potentially turning face once again during his match against R-Truth, as he briefly hesitated to hit him with the Undisputed WWE Championship. However, he eventually used his cheating methods to beat the 54-year-old veteran, hitting him with a low-blow and the Attitude Adjustment to win.
Over the years, Truth established himself as one of the most beloved superstars backstage. He also won multiple championships throughout his stint with the Stamford-based company, winning the 24/7 Championship on 54 different occasions, the RAW Tag Team Championship with The Miz at WrestleMania XL, and the United States Championship.
