WWE fans were already heated over R-Truths sudden departurebut what happened during the June 2 episode of Monday Night RAW only added more fuel to the fire.
During a Q&A session, WrestleVotes revealed that while its common for WWE stars to show subtle love to their injured or departing colleagues by wearing their merch, WWE drew the line at R-Truth. Despite Dominik Mysterio rocking a Carlito shirt on RAW, no one was allowed to rep R-Trutheven after his emotional goodbye.
The decision didnt sit well with fans, who already felt blindsided by R-Truths exit. During RAW, chants of We want Truth broke out from the crowd, and those same chants echoed again on the June 3 episode of NXT. Clearly, WWEs loyal viewers arent ready to let go of the longtime fan favorite.
Whats worse? R-Truths popular Ron Cena t-shirtone of WWEs best-selling itemswas quietly pulled from the shop, with no explanation. Its a move that sent fans into a frenzy and raised even more questions about whats really going on behind the scenes.
No official reason has been given for WWEs sudden freeze on R-Truth merch or their refusal to let talent pay tribute to him. But silencing that support only makes the company look more tone-deaf as fans rally harder behind a man whos been entertaining them for decades.
