Just a couple of days away from his highly anticipated return match against John Cena, Brock Lesnar kicked off the recent edition of WWE SmackDown. Lesnar not only sent a final warning message to his rival, but also unleashed his fury on R-Truth, who came out to confront him.

Brock Lesnar was the one to open the night, eliciting a mixed reaction from the fans, who booed him for his recent attack on John Cena. The silence was broken when, just before Lesnar could speak, R-Truth interrupted the scene with his signature entrance music.

With his classic "What's Up!", R-Truth welcomed Lesnar and confessed that, although he was scared before, he was not anymore. Lesnar asked Truth for the reason behind the interruption, and he replied that he was there to defend his "childhood hero and best friend", John Cena.

Tired of the situation, Lesnar asked R-Truth once again why he was there. Upon hearing once more that it was to defend John Cena, Lesnar lost his patience. "The Beast" delivered a brutal F-5 to R-Truth, even tearing his pants in the process. Far from getting angry, Lesnar took it in stride, chuckled, and left the ring, ending the segment.
