According to Bully Ray, the confrontation between John Cena and R-Truth after WWE Backlash lacked the kind of emotion that the storyline needs.

Saturday night in St. Louis was about giving one final quality showing between John Cena and Randy Orton and advance WWE’s stories toward a busy summer with three PLEs — including a two-night SummerSlam — a “Saturday Night’s Main Event” and “World’s Collide” with newly acquired AAA.

John Cena defeated Randy Orton at WWE Backlash to retain his Undisputed WWE Championship. However, he didn't get the job done alone. 'The Viper' unleashed every major move in his arsenal during the match.
