    Nick Khan Helped Facilitate New Deal With R-Truth
    Last weekend, R-Truth announced that he was leaving WWE. As seen during the 2025 WWE Money in the Bank PLE, R-Truth made a surprise appearance when he attacked John Cena.


    R-Truth and his son have publicly denied that his situation is a work. Cory Hays of Bodyslam.net noted that WWE was legitimately planning to let R-Truth’s contract expire with no renewal. Hays stated the following…​

    “Several within WWE wanted him to stay with the company but not as an active talent. The backlash and reaction that came about over the last week created an opportunity that WWE could not pass up and WWE President Nick Khan ultimately reached out to facilitate a new working deal with Killings.”

    It was added that “this new deal isn’t a normal active working talent deal but it gives him the opportunity for one true final run.” Hays also wrote the following via Twitter/X…

    “Literally no reason for Ron Killings to be involved in a ‘work’ about his job when 2 of his colleagues were informed of their non renewals the same day. It would be absolutely horrible business and Truth is not that kind of person.”

    MLW World Champion Matt Riddle recently spoke with Going Ringside. When asked if he was surprised by the recent situation where WWE decided not to renew R-Truth’s contract but then re-signed him less than a week later due to fan and locker room backlash, Riddle said he wasn’t and fully placed the blame on TKO and Endeavor.

    “Well, no, because the problem is right now with TKO and Endeavor,” Matt Riddle said. “They’re still trying to figure out and work out the kinks, and right now, they’re trying to save as much money as possible and create a good budget for themselves. And in pro wrestling, it’s like, that’s just not how it works. Sometimes this guy’s popular, sometimes this guy’s popular, and things change over time.”

    When asked if he thinks Truth was initially cut just so TKO and Endeavor could save money, Riddle said he’s sure that’s what happened.

    “I know for a fact, yeah,” Matt Riddle said. “They cut people so they can renegotiate their contracts. I already heard Roman Reigns is up for that, and they want to renegotiate his contract and others.”
