WWE News: R-Truth Says He Wants to Be Like John Cena, Dana Brooke Not Happy About Being Overlooked, 205 Live Preview

– WWE posted a video of R-Truth discussing his second United States Open Challenge that will take place during tonight’s Smackdown. You can see the video below, in which Truth takes a call he says is from John Cena, who created the US Open Challenge. Truth had a brief conversation with the person on the other end and then hung up, saying “Gotta make John proud.” When Sarfah Schreiber asked if Cena gave him any advice, Truth replied, “Never give up. He’s my idol, you know what I’m saying? Ever since I was a wee, wee little tot, I watched him, you know what I’m saying? He did his thing, and I’m gonna do my thing. I wanna be like John.”

– WWE posted the following preview for tonight’s 205 Live:

Can Mike Kanellis score a victory?
Despite a string of recent losses, Mike Kanellis has impressed with his in-ring ability against the likes of Kalisto and Cedric Alexander. The fact remains that The Opportunist has not racked up any victories, however, regardless of his best efforts.

After pleading with WWE 205 Live General Manager Drake Maverick with the support of his wife Maria, Kanellis has been granted another chance to prove that he can indeed win. While there is likely disappointment that Kanellis is not competing in the Cruiserweight Championship Tournament, he can prove himself against Maverick’s handpicked opponent.

– Dana Brooke isn’t happy about being left out in the cold on Raw, as you can see in the below post:
