R-Truth is no longer a WWE superstar.
The wrestling veteran took to X early Sunday to announce that he had been released by the company. In his message, he expressed gratitude to all the fans who supported him throughout his WWE career:
“I’m sorry. I’ve just been released from WWE. I want to thank you for riding with me in WWE, and I appreciate everyone who has been part of this journey.”
This announcement comes as a surprise since the 53-year-old competed just a few days ago, facing WWE champion John Cena in the main event on Saturday night, May 24th.
Starting his career in 1997, R-Truth is one of the last active stars from the wrestling’s attitude era. He had been with WWE since 2008 in this latest stint, making him one of the longest-tenured members on the current roster prior to this news.
According to Fightful Select, R-Truth’s release follows recent trends. It was a decision by WWE officials to not renew his contract rather than terminating it prematurely.
This means that the former US Champion could turn into a free agent sooner than the usual 90-day waiting period tied to early releases, potentially allowing him to appear in other wrestling promotions before then.
