R-Truth has opened up about his future plans in WWE, revealing he wants The Miz to be his final opponent when he decides to hang up his boots.
In an exclusive interview with SEScoops correspondent Scott Fishman for TV Insider, the 53-year-old veteran discussed how watching John Cena's farewell tour has shaped his own retirement vision.
Watching Cena's end game gave me ideas about mine. I want to articulate mine creatively," R-Truth said. "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.
R-Truth's Retirement Plans
When asked who he envisions standing across from him in his final match, R-Truth didn't hesitate.
The Miz. 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," he explained. "I will have that with The Miz.
The two have a storied history together as Awesome Truth, dating back to their 2011 heel run that culminated in a Survivor Series main event against John Cena and The Rock. They reunited in 2024 and captured the World Tag Team Championship at WrestleMania XL, giving R-Truth his first WrestleMania victory after over two decades in the business.
Under Contract Through 2028
R-Truth also confirmed he signed a four-year deal with a three-year option following his dramatic return at Money in the Bank 2025, where he shocked fans just six days after announcing his release from WWE.
