In the back Todd Grisham welcomes the newest member of Smackdown, John Cena. He asks Cena to react to the draft and he says he’s shocked but SyFy will party like it’s “1999” and this is the biggest move in years. He makes a bunch of Sci-Fi references and he says he has to change like “Dennis Rodman going from a man to a woman and back to a man” and then he says the biggest change will be win he walks out of Extreme Rules the WWE Champion and bring the WWE Title back to Smackdown. The Miz walks up and laughs. Miz says it’s too bad Cena’s last match will be losing to Miz.

He says it’s all about “you.” He says last week his friend, John Morrison, and then stops as the fans chant “what” and says “y’all gone stop with that what.” R-Truth keeps stopping as they continue the “WHAT” chant. He says Morrison challenged him for his spot in the Title Match at Extreme Rules and stops again and says the fans are pissing him the hell off with the “what” chants. He says he wont let them get to him and then starts again. He asks why Morrison challenged him, and says it’s because of “you” the fans. He says he accepted because of “you” and he says “you” wanted him to. He says he also lost because of “you.” R-Truth says he’s starting to realize that he spent his entire career trying to please and be what “you” wanted him to. He says that got him nowhere and he says he came out rapping and dancing every week just so the fans can dance and rap along with him. R-Truth says “a lot of y’all need to get some rhythm, a lot of y’all be out of tune and off beat.” He mocks fans singing R-Truth’s “wassup” song. Truth asks if he makes the fans smile with “Wassup” and then asks if the fans singing that with him put titles around his waist? Truth says the kids that like to sing his song can wipe their noses and shutup. He says for 10 years he chose the fans but now he’s officially giving each and every one of the fans the boot. He says “peace out” and again says the fans should be booing themselves. Truth calls a fan “four eyes” and then says he’s had 10 years of frustration and disappointment, but when he let that go it felt marvelous. He says he’s being honest and for the first time in his life the “TRUTH” has set him free. JOHN MORRISON attacks Truth from behind!
