WWE tried switching gears with a nostalgia postbut fans still arent letting up about R-Truth and Carlito.
Hours after Triple Hs tweet congratulating El Hijo del Vikingo got hijacked by outraged fans, the official WWE account tried to promote a replay of Money in the Bank 2010 on WWE Vault. Instead of getting fans hyped for a throwback, the post immediately spiraled into another protest.
At 7PM, WWE tweeted: STREAMING NOW! Relive the first-ever #MITB event from 2010 on WWE Vault! Watch two Money in the Bank Ladder Matches, plus @JohnCena challenging WWE Champion @WWESheamus inside a Steel Cage! The tweet featured a poster with Kofi Kingston, John Cena, and other starsbut the replies had zero interest in MITB nostalgia.
One fan shot back, Bring back R-Truth #WeWantRTruth #BringBackRTruth. Another wrote, Wont be watching. Bring back R-Truth and Carlito. Dozens more echoed the same sentiment: Bring back Truth and Carlito. So when are yall gonna resign R-Truth? Dont care. Resign R-Truth.
Some responses ditched words altogether, dropping GIFs of R-Truth smiling, dancing, or cutting promosa not-so-subtle reminder of what fans feel WWE just threw away. One person summed up the mood: Nah Im good. Yall done lost a lot of fans getting rid of R-Truth and Carlito. Dont make no damn sense.
Others used the platform to take shots at the content WWE was pushing: Carlito and R-Truth are more entertaining than anything on that show, 2010 was the drizzling shits.
Even comments like, We Want Truth, and I learned from R-Truth and Carlito Damn WWE made it clearfans arent in a nostalgic mood unless it involves bringing back the two stars they feel never shouldve been cut.
What started as a quiet outrage is now a full-on revolt in WWEs comment sections. And with no statement from the company and no response from leadership, every promotional tweet is turning into a battlefield.
