R-Truth Claims WWE Release in Shocking Social Media Posts

On June 1, the veteran performer took to both Twitter and Instagram to confirm his release from WWE. After decades of entertaining fans with wild antics and heartfelt moments, Truth delivered the news in his usual direct but grateful tone.

This is legitimate. He is leaving WWE, as the company will not be renewing his deal.

The news lands just days after Truths emotional in-ring moment with John Cena at WWE Saturday Nights Main Event on May 24. That match, which many thought would be a career milestone for Truth, ended up serving as an unexpected farewell instead. The longtime WWE Superstar had spent months building up to that moment, often referring to Cena as his childhood hero.

Truths heartfelt admiration added serious weight to the storyline, with fans invested in what felt like the biggest spotlight of his recent run. Whether WWE planned the match as a send-off or things shifted behind the scenes remains unclear.

Ron Killings, known professionally as R-Truth, has been a fixture in WWE for decades. Originally signed in 1999 under the name K-Kwik, he later made history in TNA Wrestling as the first recognized African-American NWA World Heavyweight Champion. He returned to WWE in 2008 and fully embraced the R-Truth personaan eccentric, comedic, and wildly entertaining character who resonated with fans across all generations.

Throughout his tenure, Truth became a multi-time champion. He held the United States Title, Tag Team Titles, and made the 24/7 Championship his own personal playground, notching a record number of reigns while injecting constant humor into WWE programming.

Truths release feels like the end of a wild, memorable, and often hilarious era for WWE. But knowing how unpredictable wrestling is, its hard to say this is the last well see of Ron Killings in the ring.
