WWE’s Elimination Chamber 2025 sent shockwaves through the wrestling world when John Cena did the unthinkable—turned heel for the first time in over 20 years. Fans everywhere were left stunned, heartbroken, and confused. But no one took it harder than R-Truth, who is currently experiencing what can only be described as a full-blown existential crisis.
For years, Truth has been one of Cena’s biggest fans, imitating his mannerisms, dropping freestyles in his honor, and even calling him his “childhood hero” (despite the math not quite adding up). But after watching Cena brutalize Cody Rhodes and align himself with The Rock, Truth has been spiraling online, posting messages that are equal parts denial, heartbreak, and conspiracy theory.
R-Truth: Wrestling’s Saddest Cena Fan Right Now
📌 Denial Stage: Truth refused to believe Cena had actually turned heel. His solution? Blame AI.
🗣 “That photo of Cena attacking Cody? Nah, that’s AI-generated. Fake news.”
📌 Anger Stage: His header on X (formerly Twitter) now reads:
“Say it ain’t so, John.”
📌 Bargaining Stage: He reposted an old fan warning about what happens when someone “crashes out,” featuring a pic of Truth smoking a cigarette from his 2011 heel turn. (Is Truth contemplating a dark path? Someone check on him.)
📌 Depression Stage: His Instagram was flooded with Elimination Chamber posts—every single one laced with heartbreak and disbelief.
📌 Acceptance? …Not quite. Truth woke up Monday morning and fired off one last desperate tweet:
🗣 “What about Cenation? What about the fans? John … are you for real sayin ‘F**k them kids?’ Asking for a friend.”
Where Does Truth Go From Here?
It remains unclear if Truth will get involved in the Cody vs. Rock & Cena feud, but one thing is certain—this man needs answers. And unfortunately for him (and the entire Cenation fanbase currently working through their grief), Cena refused to explain himself at the post-show press conference.
With Cena and The Rock off WWE TV for a few weeks, Truth may have to sit with his feelings a little longer. Until then, someone get this man a support group.
