WWE Champion Cody Rhodes recently commented on the reaction to R-Truth’s Money in the Bank appearance following news of his WWE exit. On June 1st, R-Truth took to social media to announce his departure from WWE, with Fightful and Pwinsider confirming that WWE chose not to renew his contract.
This announcement sparked “We Want the Truth” chants during WWE programming, culminating in R-Truth’s return during the Money in the Bank post-show on June 7th. After a tag team match interference involving John Cena and Logan Paul, Rhodes acknowledged the fans for voicing their support for R-Truth, emphasizing the company’s commitment to delivering what the audience desires.
Rhodes stated, “The truth is, you guys wanted the truth, and that’s always our job, everyone here, everyone over there, Triple H, Nick Khan, it’s always our job to give you what you want.”
It seems R-Truth, whose real name is Ron Killings, will continue to have a role in WWE. Triple H suggested that R-Truth’s initial departure announcement might have been a planned storyline, confirming at a post-show press conference that his return was “all part of the show.”
Reports also indicate that R-Truth was in talks with an independent promotion for bookings shortly before this announcement. Similarly, Kalisto and Sarah Logan/Balhalla also announced their departures under comparable circumstances last weekend.
For more details on the speculation and developments surrounding R-Truth’s situation, additional information is available.
