This confirmation follows his surprise appearance at Money in the Bank, where he attacked John Cena. While some initially speculated his departure was part of a storyline, it has since been revealed that the situation was entirely legitimate. WWE was initially prepared to let his contract expire, a decision that sparked considerable backlash from fans, industry insiders, and talent within the locker room.
Multiple sources indicate that the groundswell of support was a major factor in the company reversing its course. The departure was not a scripted work, and the news of his potential exit genuinely upset many backstage. Khan’s personal intervention was key to finalizing a new deal in the 72 hours leading up to Money in the Bank, with the return being kept a secret from most of the roster.
The storyline culminated on the June 9 episode of WWE RAW, where the performer delivered an intense promo. In a symbolic act, he cut off his signature braids in the center of the ring, shedding the R-Truth persona.
“The truth has set me free. I am Ron Killings. I am the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Now, put some respect on my name!” he declared.
The segment received a massive reaction and garnered over 1.5 million views across WWE’s platforms within 10 hours. The shift to a more serious character has been met with widespread positivity from the wrestling community, with colleagues like Big E publicly expressing their excitement for Killings’ new creative direction.
