According to his professional opinion, R-Truth confirmed that Cena will continue to be his hero no matter the choices he makes.

Cody Rhodes Could Be Recalled To Have Another Bout With Cena
John Cena won the Undisputed Championship at WWE WrestleMania 41 last month after winning the title from Cody Rhodes. Cody never been seen since. Many people believe that it will be Cody Rhodes who will end Cena’s reign as champion. Looking at the WWE roster today, Cody turns out to be the only most likely contender. Perhaps Cody will come back to WWE and dare Cena to another one. Perhaps Cody will fight Cena in another match one day. Losing to Cena in that fight may give Cody a chance to regain the Undisputed Championship. In the end, a rematch for Rhodes is what he deserves too. WWE ended his run with the title quite unnoticeably which annoyed spectators.
