The R-Truth situation has hogged the limelight in WWE over the past week or so. The company was under fire for letting go of such a beloved entertainer in Truth. The outcry became so intense that the fans began hijacking the shows with “We want Truth” chants. It paid off, as WWE brought the 53-year-old back within a week.

Taking to X, WWE’s resident rapping superstar thanked the fans for their overwhelming support and said his return became a reality only because of them. Truth then expressed gratitude to Triple H and the company’s president, Nick Khan, for allowing Truth to set him free. It’s worth noting that the former Judgment Day member reportedly ignored many of WWE’s approaches after his release.

Consequently, Khan had to step in and start negotiating with the man who’s now going by his real name, Ron Killings. As per Fightful, Khan doesn’t usually get involved in such dealings, but he did, as this scenario was pivotal to both WWE and its locker room.

Moreover, the roster is ecstatic about Killings’ return. The former US Champion crashed John Cena and Logan Paul vs. Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso at Money in the Bank. Killings was wearing an all-black hoodie and had his face covered while unloading on Cena.

Once he unveiled himself as Truth, the entire arena erupted. He decked his so-called childhood hero with the WWE title belt. Rhodes did the rest to pick up the win for his team. The American Nightmare thanked the fans during the MITB post-show presser for letting all of WWE know how badly they wanted Killings back in the company.

R-Truth’s segment from Raw overtakes John Cena/CM Punk confrontation

Ron Killings is the talk of the town right now. He spoke his heart out on this week’s Raw. It seemed as if he buried the gimmick known as R-Truth on live television by saying that he could be too funny and forgiving at times. The Suntan Superman went to the extremes by cutting off his hair, which received “holy sh*t” chants from the crowd.

After doing so, he said that Truth had set him free and announced himself by his real name. The record-breaking 24/7 Champion asked everyone to put some respect on his name. The segment, though not posted in its entirety on WWE’s YouTube channel, has over 2.2 million views as of writing.

Meanwhile, the opening segment of Raw that featured John Cena and CM Punk is behind Killings’ promo at 2.1 million views. That, in itself, says a lot about the red-hot nature of Truth. The latter has revealed a new look of himself after butchering his braids at the Footprint Center in Phoenix.

How has R-Truth reacted to Metro Boomin’s urge to produce a new theme song for him?

With Ron Killings ditching R-Truth, the fans would obviously wonder if he’d also get rid of the theme song that he’s been using for years. Producer and music executive Metro Boomin recently posted on X that he’s begging WWE and Triple H to allow him to record a brand-new theme song for the veteran wrestler.

In a response that didn’t take long, Killings told Boomin that he’s a big fan of his work but noted that he didn’t want to fix something that’s not even broken. Truth’s current theme, “What’s Up?” was written and composed by the WWE superstar himself, and he’s been using it ever since then.

As such, it’d be interesting to see what exactly WWE has planned for the erstwhile K-Kwik. It appeared as if he’d continue beefing with John Cena, who unjustly pinned Killings at Saturday Night’s Main Event. However, Cena, for the time being, will be engrossed in a rivalry with CM Punk.
