#4 John Cena vs R-Truth (Capitol Punishment 2011)

These days, R-Truth is one of the best things on WWE programming, as he and Drake Maverick are leading the 24/7 Championship shenanigans. Back then, he was more of a bit-part babyface in the midcard of either Raw or Smackdown. That's why his heel turn in 2011 was pretty surprising.

He turned into a bitter man who thought there was a conspiracy against him, initially entering the ring to no entrance music. The current 24/7 Champion found himself in the main event of the one and only Capitol Punishment pay-per-view WWE produced in June 2011.

R-Truth challenged John Cena for the WWE Championship in what was a strange match. Despite being extremely entertaining in his role, nobody really bought him as the WWE Champion. Cena would obviously win, thanks to a young fan in the crowd who splashed a drink in Truth's face. It was bizarre to see, much like when he is hitting a crossbody on Drake Maverick in his hotel room when he was supposed to consummate his marriage.
