R-Truth Would Like His Final Match To Be Against The Miz
R-Truth wants that last moment to be with The Miz.
R-Truth is going to be spotlighted in the upcoming season of WWE: Unreal on Netflix. To promote the show, Truth spoke to Scott Fishman of TV Insider.
Among the subjects covered was John Cena’s retirement and whether Truth has put any thought into how his retirement will pan out. Within that answer, he spoke about the moment when he cut his hair on Monday Night Raw. He said he always wanted to do it and had already been asking WWE Chief Content Officer Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque if he could do it.
“Definitely. Watching (John) Cena’s endgame gave me ideas about mine. I want to articulate mine creatively. Again, one of the greatest of all-time to ever do this. I learned a lot from him in the ring and out of it, one hill at a time. A lot of things I’ve said, I learned from Cena. I learned from his retirement that I want mine to go. We’re all on a ride. The ride stops at some point, and it was great seeing him have some control and go, ‘I want to get off right now.’ That’s what I want to do. I signed a four-year deal with a three-year option. The cutting of my hair was symbolizing a new beginning of the beginning. A lot of people thought they knew why I cut my hair. They didn’t know why I cut my hair. Nobody knew, but me. I talked to Hunter. I wanted to cut it way before then. I asked Hunter, ‘Can I do it now? Can I do it now?’ I had the right moment. I had the right eye. I had the world compelled. The world was watching me. Tupac, ‘All Eyez on Me.’ It was the right time to set the pace for a new beginning. By ending one, there is going to be a new one.”
Following up on that, Truth was asked who he’d like to share the ring with in his final match, and he said The Miz.
“The Miz (is who I’d want to face in my final match). I have a story with The Miz. I have an outside-the-ring story with The Miz. I have a relatable story with The Miz. The history. I remember when he first came here from The Real World. He is so underrated. The things I could do with him. I will have that with The Miz.”
Together, The Miz and Truth are one-time WWE World Tag Team Champions. They won the belts at WrestleMania XL and held the titles for 79 days.
