Samoa Joe brought an end to R-Truth’s reign as United States Champion last Tuesday night after answering Truth’s open challenge as part of a Fatal 4-Way Match that also featured Rey Mysterio and Andrade. The Samoan Submission Machine retained the title at WWE Fastlane in a rematch against the same three Superstars. But Joe did not defeat Truth in either match, pinning Andrade last week and putting Mysterio out on Sunday with the Coquina Clutch.
R-Truth will get a one-on-one opportunity to reclaim the title on SmackDown LIVE when he challenges Joe. Can Truth win back the star-spangled title and get back to making his childhood hero, John Cena, proud? Or will Samoa Joe make good on his promise to demolish anyone in his path?
