WWE Superstar R-Truth considers his 2011 Survivor Series tag team match as the highlight of his career.
In 2011, R-Truth turned heel by attacking his friend John Morrison, adopting a more aggressive persona. This heel turn also involved him smoking a pack of cigarettes in Morrison’s face, a stunt Vince McMahon encouraged.
After turning heel, R-Truth showed a more aggressive side and introduced “Little Jimmy,” an imaginary friend who quickly became popular. He also faced John Cena for the WWE title at Capitol Punishment.
While R Truth failed to capture the WWE Championship. A few months later, R-Truth teamed up with The Miz to form “Awesome Truth.” Their team became notorious for interfering in matches and storylines, notably costing Cena the WWE Championship at Vengeance against Alberto Del Rio.
After costing John Cena the WWE Championship, Awesome Truth were challenged by Cena to a tag team match. This led to the main event match at Survivor Series 2011 at Madison Square Garden, where they faced John Cena and the returning Rock.
Reflecting on the moment, R-Truth mentioned during his appearance on Insight with Chris Van Vliet that the experience marked the pinnacle of his career.
“I felt like that was the pinnacle. You don’t go no higher than that, right? In the ring with The Rock and John Cena, that’s an unforgettable moment I won’t forget.”
The highly anticipated tag team match saw John Cena and The Rock pick up the win, serving as a buildup to their “Once in a Lifetime” showdown at WWE WrestleMania 28.
