The “We want Truth” movement isn’t slowing down.
On the June 6, 2025 episode of WWE SmackDown in Bakersfield, California, fans once again hijacked the show with deafening chants demanding R-Truth—this time in the face of John Cena.
The chants broke out during a major segment where Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso confronted John Cena and Logan Paul ahead of this weekend’s Money in the Bank Premium Live Event. The show went to commercial as Cody Rhodes interrupted Paul Heyman, but when it returned, fans inside Dignity Health Arena were already fired up, chanting and “yeeting” as Jey Uso made his entrance through the crowd.
After Cody asked, “Bakersfield, what do you want to talk about?”, the energy shifted as the crowd broke into “Let’s go Cena / Cena sucks” dueling chants. Cody called Cena desperate and compared him standing next to Logan Paul to “PS Hayes teaming with the Hardy Boyz.”
Then came the ambush. Logan Paul jumped the babyfaces, and Cena joined in. Cody and Jey were laid out with a Paulverizer and multiple frog splashes from Logan Paul.
While Cody and Jey were down, fans erupted again—“We want Truth.” That’s when Cena snapped.
“You can’t handle the truth!” he shouted into the mic.
But he didn’t stop there. Cena went off on the Bakersfield crowd:
“You chant for truth, but you’re all pathetic liars.”
“That’s why you’re losers. I’ll never be back in Bakersfield.”
As Cena stood in the ring with Logan Paul, he looked over the scene and made his message clear:
“Take a good look. No one is coming to save you. I’ve been telling you this for half of a year. Your dream of what WWE is will be ruined. This is your future. I take this home, he takes that to the top.”
The moment capped off another chaotic week of fan backlash, with NXT and RAW also experiencing interruptions from “We want Truth” chants. Despite WWE trying to move forward—with matches featuring Trick Williams and Tyra Mae Steele’s debut—fans aren’t letting up.
Should WWE finally respond to the chants, or will the backlash keep hijacking shows? And did Cena cross a line with his reaction? Drop your thoughts in the comments—we’re listening.
