CM Punk has re-emerged from the ether as a key merch mover. Immediately after his comeback, WWE released his customized T-shirt for fans, and it came out drawing the highest numbers in sales. That said, now Punk has his record toppled by none other than John Cena’s former rival, R Truth.

The veteran is already a big part of the WWE discussion after his recent antics with Judgement Day. On this note, his epic feat didn’t only ruin Punk’s spot, it also wreaked havoc on John Cena‘s classic record. That said, Truth saw it as nothing more than a collective win.

R Truth feels honored to outstrip John Cena as the top merch mover

John Cena has always been among the top crowd pullers to his featured T-shirts, contributing to WWE’s fund for years. Last year, he came in the top 4 on the list but lost his spot to R Truth, with whom he shared a ring as well as a studio for recording an unreleased song in the past.

During a recent interview, the host dug up that context and asked the aspiring Judgement Day member how it feels to outdo The People’s Champion.

Truth came up with an honest and generous answer. He noted, ‘That was a shock that was a shock to me and I don’t get shocked that easy in this business you know what I’m saying, like that was a shock to me. ”

”That’s my childhood hero man I got that power pet from him I used to watch his dog every Saturday morning you know what I’m saying, I, I’m not the leader, everybody I’m not the leader but I don’t think we really need a leader everybody on their own, you know what I’m saying, but we are a good group dog sticking together” the 51-year-old came clean-hearted.

Moving ahead, let’s look at R Truth’s possibility of reuniting with his idol anytime soon.

Will John Cena and R Truth tag alongside each other?

Cena and Truth shared a significant time under the WWE ring back in 2011 when R-Truth was on an upward movement in his career. He vied for Cena’s WWE Championship at Capitol Punishment and also joined forces with The Miz to take on the magnified power of The Cenation Leader and also The Rock at Survivor Series later that year.

Given that both the stars are now back in the lore with all their demonstrated past and mutual admiration toward each other, they can team up to rekindle their old magic. But Truth’s ongoing attempt to align with The Judgement Day makes that idea somewhat far-fetched.

What’s your take on R Truth’s humble response on him being the top merchandise seller surpassing John Cena? Sound off in the comments.
