Even more on R-Truth's WWE return
🕑 Added 2025-06-08 23:34:27 +0000 UTCWe have more on R-Truth's return to WWE, which was not a work! (Here's a good video on that.)
If there was any doubt remaining, we have some more evidence of the R-Truth situation not being an elaborate, masterminded work. Fightful spoke with a higher up in WWE today, who confirmed our order of events as reported, including Nick Khan taking over negotiations. In fact we were told that when R-Truth had initially been approached for a return, that he didn't seem to entertain the calls. When Nick Khan took over, things opened up. It was also reiterated to Fightful that Truth's initial departure wasn't a work.
We were also told that it is rare that Nick Khan gets involved in negotiations, but this one was important to the company and locker room.
The higher up said that Truth being brought back was something that they viewed as a good sign that the roster and fan response being listened to overcame everything else. As one would expect, the roster is ecstatic about Truth being back with WWE.
When Ron Killings (Truth) and WWE brass have been asked directly by talent about the situation, they also stated it wasn't a work.
People close to R-Truth, even his own family members had spoke to numerous people indicating that the deal was put together very late in the week.
We spoke to another source in WWE management about the "Ron Killings" name being used. We weren't given any guarantees about booking, but it was stated to us that Killings had indicated in the past that he wanted to have at least more of a serious run in-ring before ending his career.
Regarding the shirt that WWE had ready to merchandise, they've had for months, and Killings wore it on TV in February.
There were immediately companies interested in booking Killings, including TNA and GCW. We've not been given an indication of how long the new deal is.

I don't care if he's considered too old or if it'll mess up any potential future plans. Even if it's just for a day, give Truth the WWE Championship. Let him stand at the top like he's deserved to be at for so many years.
