The WWE locker room was reportedly left stunned after R-Truth confirmed his release from the companya decision that caught even fellow Superstars off guard.
Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select was among the first to comment on the internal reaction, posting on Twitter shortly after the news broke:
That reaction came just moments after R-Truthreal name Ron Killingsshared the update himself on June 1 through Twitter and Instagram. In an emotional message to fans, he made it clear that his time with WWE had officially come to an end.
This isnt part of a storyline. WWE has chosen not to renew his contract, officially closing the book on his current run with the company.
The news comes just days after Truth competed against John Cena at WWE Saturday Nights Main Event on May 24a match that many fans saw as a celebration of Truths legacy. It also held personal significance, as he has often referred to Cena as his childhood hero. While that moment seemed like a career milestone, it now feels more like a quiet farewell.
WWE has yet to issue a public statement, but internally, the reaction tells the story. Even the people sharing the ring with Truth didnt expect to see him go.
