💔 “I Wasn’t Ready for That Moment…” — R-Truth Gets Emotional Over John Cena’s Final WWE Match
John Cena’s final WWE match wasn’t just emotional for fans — it hit his longtime peers just as hard. R-Truth has now opened up about how deeply moved he was watching his childhood hero step into the ring one last time.
At WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event on December 13, Cena competed in what turned out to be his farewell match, coming up short against GUNTHER. While R-Truth didn’t share the ring with him that night, he still played a role on the show by calling out The Miz for allegedly tampering with the balls during the Last Time Is Now tournament selection.
But the real moment came after the bell.
Speaking on the Saturday Night’s Main Event Recap show, R-Truth admitted that even though he mentally prepared himself for Cena’s goodbye, the reality of it completely overwhelmed him.
Truth described the atmosphere as powerful and emotional — not sad, but full of love. Seeing the crowd rally behind Cena, his wife by his side, and Cena leaving his boots in the ring made the moment feel “bittersweet.” According to Truth, it was a perfect send-off.
Rather than stealing attention, R-Truth said he wanted the night to belong entirely to Cena. His goal was for Cena to walk away proud, not heartbroken — proud of everything he accomplished and everything he stood for.
Truth also praised Cena as the ultimate example of self-belief, calling him “living proof” that believing in yourself can take you to unimaginable heights. That respect wasn’t limited to WWE either, as tributes poured in from across the wrestling world following Cena’s emotional farewell.
John Cena may be done in the ring — but moments like this prove his legacy will never fade. 💫
