WWE can no longer handle the truth as R-Truth confirms his new name in the company.

R-Truth recently revealed WWE had told him that his time in the company was coming to an end, as his contract with the company was not being renewed.

An outpouring of support from wrestling stars and fans then followed, with WWE fans chanting “We want Truth” at several shows after his exit was confirmed. And the company seemed to listen.

At Money In The Bank, R-Truth made his shock return as he laid out John Cena during Cena’s tag team bout, where he teamed with Logan Paul to take on Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso. However, it soon became clear that R-Truth was no more and rather the star was returning under his own name of Ron Killings.

R-Truth Is Now Ron Killings

On the June 9th edition of WWE Raw, R-Truth made a surprise appearance, standing on the commentary table as he spoke about his alter ego, noting that Truth can be too forgiving, too nice, and too funny, but he wasn’t. Cutting his trademark dreadlocks off to the shock of the crowd, Truth then confirmed the name change:

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.

As suggestions of the name change made the rounds before Raw, the real reason WWE allowed Killings to change his name has apparently been revealed.
