Shortly after John Cena made fairly easy work of R-Truth at Saturday Night's Main Event, Truth was informed his WWE contract would not be renewed and he would be released from the promotion. Fan and locker room backlash to WWE's decision was so strong that WWE reversed course and gave Truth a new deal.

Friday's episode of "WWE SmackDown" kicked the build to Night of Champions into high gear and continued the push toward a massive clash between CM Punk and John Cena.

Undisputed WWE Champion John Cena will be inside Rupp Arena in Lexington to address his next challenger. During Monday's episode of "Raw," CM Punk laid out a challenge to "The Doctor of Thuganomics." Cena only agreed to Punk's request on the condition that they square off at "Night of Champions" in Riyadh on June 28.
