R Truth might not be able to punch a ticket to Judgement Day, but he can at least settle scores with his arch-nemesis in the recent past, JD McDonagh.

While doing that at tonight’s Raw from the Rupp Arena in Lexington, Kentucky, WWE’s resident rapping superstar paid a heartfelt tribute to none other than his childhood idol, John Cena.

Enough grudges have been built up between the present and aspiring Judgment Day stars since Truth cost McDonagh’s match against The Miz last week. To sort things out for one last time, the duo came out to face each other in the eyes. Truth showed his utter dominance and his incredible athletic prowess at the start of the match with a series of splashes. But what particularly caught our eyeballs was his delivery of the Attitude Adjustment, the iconic John Cena move to label his opponent.

However, Truth couldn’t keep the momentum till the end, submitting to McDonagh’s Devlin side.
