Right as WWE RAW kicked off on June 9, Triple H decided to speak without saying much at all. He posted a photo to Twitter standing side-by-side with R-Truthnow going by his real name, Ron Killingswith a short caption that said it all: You wanted it Tonight. #WWERaw
The post, which went up just as the show opened, confirmed what many fans had already figured outTruth was going to be front and center on RAW. But more importantly, it was Triple Hs way of responding to the growing controversy surrounding Truths status.
For days, fans and even WWE talent have been questioning whether Truths shocking return at Money in the Bank was actually planned. Triple H dodged the question at the post-show press conference, smiling and brushing it off with: Its all part of the show, man. That line didnt sit well with many inside the company.
Truths own son, Christopher Killings, called cap on the whole narrativeliterally. He posted the word cap on social media in response to Triple Hs comments. Backstage sources told Fightful Select that Truth had genuinely left WWE, and the return wasnt some long-running creative plan. One veteran even told the outlet, I can tell Hunter doesnt like it. He doesnt like the fans hijacking creative.
RAWs June 9 lineup is already packed. Jey Uso is set to defend the WWE World Heavyweight Title against GUNTHER. King and Queen of the Ring qualifiers are going down, and appearances from Seth Rollins, John Cena, Nikki Bella, and CM Punk are all on the docket.
But theres no question that Ron Killings segmentand how WWE chooses to handle the fan-driven storm around himmay end up stealing the whole night.
Do you think Triple Hs tweet was a power move or a soft walk-back? Should WWE be more honest about last-minute creative changes? Sound off in the comments.
