A Heartfelt Goodbye from a Fan-Favorite Veteran
WWE veteran R-Truth, beloved by fans for his charisma, humor, and loyalty to the business, has officially announced his release from World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). The news came directly from Truth himself, shared with fans on social media following his recent appearance at the WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event on May 24, 2025, in Tampa, Florida — where he had the opportunity to face his “childhood hero” in what now stands as a poignant farewell performance.
“I Just Got Released from WWE,” Says R-Truth
In a sincere post on X (formerly Twitter), R-Truth, whose real name is Ron Killings, wrote:
“I’m sorry to inform you all. I just got released from WWE.”
He added a message of deep gratitude to fans and the WWE universe:
“I want to thank WWE for the ride, but MOSTLY I want to thank each and EVERYONE OF YOU who was along for the ride. Thank you for all the love, support, and appreciation you have given me over the years.”
A Career Defined by Entertainment and Loyalty
With a wrestling career spanning more than two decades, R-Truth has been a constant and uplifting presence on WWE programming. Known for his comedic timing, athleticism, and unmatched ability to connect with fans, he held multiple championships, including the WWE United States Title and a record-setting reign with the 24/7 Championship.
His comedic skits, spontaneous dance breaks, and surprise entrances became iconic moments, making him one of the most unique performers in WWE history.
Not a Storyline: A Real Farewell
While WWE is known for its scripted storylines, a backstage source has confirmed this release is not part of any angle or “work” — it is a legitimate end to Truth’s time with the company.
Fans and industry insiders alike have expressed their admiration for R-Truth’s contributions, with many speculating that he may still have a future in professional wrestling, comedy, or even commentary.
