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.”
