John Cena's WWE return this Friday night and his subsequent debut match in India was a pleasant surprise when they were announced. But what's fascinating is that The Champ is going to stick around for a bit longer than expected this time around.
Elsewhere in the wrestling world, Cena's former rival R-Truth disclosed that he is close to a return to the squared circle. The veteran has been out of action for nearly a year, last wrestling Grayson Waller on November 1st in NXT
John Cena vs. R-Truth is a match that - believe it or not - was booked as the main event of the Capitol Punishment pay-per-view back in 2011. The bout was for the WWE Championship. While The Cenation Leader retained his title at the event, R-Truth picked up a win for himself in a Tables match on the following episode of RAW, due to interference from CM Punk.
R-Truth hilariously cites John Cena as his "childhood hero" despite the latter being younger than him. The audience has loved Truth's work over the years, so much so that they are convinced he needs a major match or at least a solid title run upon return.
