R-Truth has a knack for making his fellow WWE Superstars crack up on-screen, though the veteran never tries to make anybody ‘break.’ Over the years, Truth’s comedic antics have led to many Superstars failing to hide their smiles and laughter,
In a recent episode of the Insight podcast, R-Truth explained that despite his reputation, he doesn’t aim to disrupt his peers’ performances.
“I haven’t tried to break anybody, it just happens… A lot of people when they’re in a promo with me… I think their guard is up so much.”
In January 2020, Truth got a rare smile from Brock Lesnar during a segment in which Truth threatened to eliminate Paul Heyman from that year’s Men’s Royal Rumble. On the podcast, Truth named the segment as the one he’s most proud of and recalled a backstage bet.
“I was like, ‘What bet?’ He [Paul Heyman] is like, ‘That you can make Brock laugh’… And that was the most impromptu thing that just came off like sliced bread.”
It’s not just the Beast Incarnate’s who’s been rib-tickled by Truth. In recent years, the former U.S. Champion has repeatedly mistaken Triple Ha and Tomasso Ciampa for another.
“Hunter was another one… ‘ I’m not going to break, this is going to be business’… I know what to say to [get him to break]. And that was one of the moments I was waiting on.”
Even John Cena isn’t immune to Truth’s funny bone, as the WWE icon has been caught out by his former adversary. On the podcast, Truth shared that praising Cena as his ‘childhood hero’ always gets to Cena, five years his junior.
“I broke him too with that one. That was good, man. And they’re still running with it. I love it.”
At 52 years old, R-Truth is enjoying what he calls “the most fun” of his career as his humor continues to bring joy to fans and colleagues alike. Stay tuned to SEScoops for the latest updates on R-Truth and his ongoing ability to bring smiles to the faces of even the most serious performers.
