R Truth makes his way to the ring.
Truth says everyone keeps asking him how are you going to handle fighting your childhood hero John Cena tomorrow night. They don't get it. He isn't fighting his childhood hero John Cena tomorrow night. The man he sees now, the man who attacked him. Truth says he doesn't recognize him. Truth says he has been thinking about his childhood hero John Cena, but he tried to figure out where he went wrong and how he could fix the problem.
The problem is power. It is always power. Cena used to call him his friend and his brother. The more power and fame Cena got, the more disconnected he felt. The text message were less and the replies were slower. The phone calls stopped. He thought Cena was annoyed with him because whatever he did was wrong. Truth says he blamed himself. Then he thought he did something that got on John's nerves. Truth says he talked to others and they felt the way Truth did. Cena isolated himself with power.
He says John got corrupted by the power. You stare at your championship and call it your precious. It isn't the championship, it is your ego. You stopped having fun and now you get mad when someone wants to have fun or a good time. Truth says he does not like who John has become. Cena is not happy. You are the greatest of all time. Truth says he does not know if he can bring him back, but he will try. You are not going to take away his joy.
Truth asks Cena if he wants to ruin wrestling. Truth says if he wants to save wrestling, he has to save John. He doesn't want to have to put his hands on John, but he will beat the ever loving hustle, loyalty, and respect into your ass. Truth says he misses his hero. He can't deny it. Saturday, if Cena wins. . . we riot.
