R-Truth’s time in WWE may be coming to an end, but several independent wrestling promotions are already eager to book him. According to Fightful Select, multiple top indie companies have expressed significant interest in working with Ron Killings after WWE chose not to renew his contract. Although the exact date when his contract will officially expire remains unclear, his impending availability is becoming widely known in the wrestling community.
The response to R-Truth’s surprising WWE departure hasn’t been limited to indie promotions. At AEW, Tommy Dreamer, the head of talent relations, extended an invitation to “Hit Me Up,” acknowledging his former status as WWE’s 24/7 Champion.
Before joining WWE, Ron Killings built a respected reputation under the name “The Truth,” capturing championships in both TNA and NWA. His proven drawing power outside of WWE sets him apart from many other talents released recently. While he will officially become a free agent, it’s unlikely he will remain unattached for long.
Behind the scenes, the reaction to his release was largely negative. One prominent wrestler reportedly described the decision as “complete nonsense,” noting that everyone, including R-Truth himself, was confused by the announcement.
Given his strong fanbase, impressive merchandise sales, and widespread respect backstage, it is no surprise that Pro Wrestling promotions are showing keen interest in signing the current WWE Superstar.

Fan Take: R-Truth’s departure marks a significant moment for TNA Wrestling fans, as his return to the independent scene or a potential comeback to Impact Wrestling could reignite excitement and bring star power back to the promotion. This move underscores the dynamic nature of pro wrestling, where talent shifts often lead to fresh storylines and opportunities that benefit both the athletes and the sport as a whole.
