R-Truth will speak on WWE SmackDown.
WWE announced that R-Truth will have a sit down interview with Wade Barrett on the May 16th episode of WWE SmackDown.
Truth helped John Cena retain the Undisputed WWE Championship against Randy Orton at WWE Backlash by preventing Orton from delivering a punt kick. Orton hit an RKO on Truth, and Cena capitalized with a low blow and belt shot to Orton.
At the post-show press conference, Cena put Truth through a table.
