confirmed that R-Truth was contacted over the weekend by someone from talent relations and informed that his contract would not be renewed. The decision came as a surprise to many within the company. R-Truth, who is 53, was widely seen as a WWE lifer. Sources told Fightful that he wasn’t in any kind of trouble and had done nothing wrong. Several wrestlers reportedly reached out to him afterward, and even Truth himself was said to be confused by the move. R-Truth’s new T-Shirt “Ron Cena” was a top selling shirt on the WWE Shop.
Kevin Owens: I’ve said many times that there are a few people in this industry for whom I have unlimited respect, love and admiration for. @RonKillings is at the very top of that list. An incredible, timeless performer with an unmatched ability to entertain and bring a smile to anyone he encounters, be it the fans or every single person lucky enough to have had the privilege to work alongside him. His kindness, humility and infectious good nature makes him one of the most beloved people I’ve met in this industry and the void that his absence will leave in our locker room is immeasurable. I love you, dude.
