#2 John Cena vs. R-Truth - Capitol Punishment 2011

We've spoken about this match a few times in the past, but it needs to be repeated: R-Truth's heel turn back in 2011 was actually really intriguing. His whole 'conspiracy' gimmick made for some fascinating segments on Monday Night Raw, and while it seemed random at the time, it was something fresh - which was nice given WWE's lack of main eventers at the time.

Unfortunately, the whole thing kind of fell apart at Capitol Punishment when these two had what can only be described as a lukewarm match. The whole feud was used as a placeholder until CM Punk came in and challenged for the WWE Championship at Money in the Bank, and in many ways, Truth deserved better than that.

Did a WWE Hall of Famer predict John Cena's heelish ways long ago? More details HERE.
