Man, I don’t even know where to begin….
Just a few days ago, I was sitting down writing a blog post about how shocked I was that WWE let go R-Truth. A legend in the locker room. A fan favorite. One of the funniest and most entertaining guys in wrestling history. I couldn’t believe it then and I’m still not sure what to believe now.
Because now… R-Truth is back.
So what happened? Was he actually released and brought back because of fan pressure? Or was this all just a “work”…a classic wrestling trick to create buzz and build suspense? Honestly, it could be both.
Let’s rewind for a second.
R-Truth, whose real name is Ron Killings, has been with WWE for over two decades. He’s held the 24/7 title more times than I can count, and he’s made us laugh harder than just about anyone else in the business. When news dropped about him being released, the internet exploded. Fans were heartbroken. Social media blew up. I saw hashtags like #SaveRTruth and #BringBackTruth trending on X.
It reminded me of that wild moment last year when Cody Rhodes was finally getting his chance… and then The Rock walked in. The fans didn’t just sit back. They let WWE hear it. And guess what? Cody got his moment. The fans changed the course of that story.
And maybe… just maybe… they did it again.
The way WWE has handled fan feedback lately has actually been impressive. Sure, they’ve made mistakes but no one can deny that they’re listening more now than ever. R-Truth’s return might be another sign of that. Whether this was all planned from the start or a quick pivot based on fan reaction, it proves that the fans still have power.
Watching Truth walk out again felt like seeing an old friend come home. The crowd popped. The energy shifted. It was one of those feel good moments that remind you why you love wrestling in the first place.
I don’t know if WWE ever really let him go. Maybe it was a clever storyline to give him a hero’s return. Or maybe the voices of the WWE Universe were just too loud to ignore. Either way, I’m glad he’s back. Wrestling feels more fun when R-Truth is around. He appears to be going by his real name now….Ron Killings…hmmm
So here’s to one of the most entertaining superstars of all time. Welcome back bro!. You never lost the fans and maybe that’s what saved you.
