MIZ has finally spoken out following the surprising release of R-Truth by WWE. On Twitter, Miz fondly recalled their time as the tag team “Amazing Truth,” a duo that made a significant impact during their 2011 feud against John Cena, The Rock, and Triple H.
Miz said, “Forming a great truth with you was one of the best runs of my career. No one made me laugh harder. Your energy, your heart, and your smile lit up every room… you aren’t just someone for a moment – you are a lifetime person.”
Their partnership included standout matches at Survivor Series 2011, where they faced off against John Cena and The Rock in one of the era’s most memorable tag team bouts. The unique energy of R-Truth combined with Miz’s relentless confidence allowed them to compete with some of the era’s most dynamic teams.
Now, more than ten years later, Miz’s tribute comes just days after R-Truth (real name Ron Killings) revealed that WWE chose not to renew his contract. Reports indicate that R-Truth was never a troublemaker and was personally informed about the decision by WWE’s talent relations over the weekend. This announcement shocked fans and WWE talent alike.
Behind the scenes, reactions are reportedly mixed, with one top star calling the situation “complete nonsense,” while another described WWE’s handling of R-Truth’s departure as “ruthless.” WWE has not yet released an official statement, and leadership has remained mostly silent, except for a deleted tweet from SmackDown head writer Road Dogg.
Miz’s public tribute highlights the deep respect and affection R-Truth commands backstage and underscores the significant impact he has had over the years.
Fan Take: This news hits hard for WWE fans who have long admired R-Truth’s charisma and dedication. His departure marks the end of an era and raises questions about WWE’s direction in honoring its enduring stars while evolving the roster.
