At the thrilling event of Money in the Bank, an unexpected return by R-Truth left the audience stunned! He sneakily appeared without prior announcement and delivered a surprising blow to John Cena using the WWE championship belt. This unanticipated move ultimately assisted Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso in their victory.
The situation turned into a subject of debate rapidly, as numerous individuals began to ponder if his latest departure declaration was an element of a prolonged plot or genuine.
Last week, R-Truth (whose real name is Ron Killings) shared a heartfelt message on social media to announce his departure from WWE: “I regret to inform you all. I’ve just been released by WWE. I want to express my gratitude to WWE for the journey we’ve had, but more importantly, I want to thank every one of you who joined me on this ride. Thank you for the love, support, and appreciation you’ve shown me throughout the years. Thank you.

Triple H Claims It Was “Part of the Show”
At the post-Money in the Bank event press conference, WWE’s Chief Content Officer, Triple H, responded to the queries that were posed.
“I love the question. You enjoying the show? It’s all part of the show, man.”
Some people speculated that Triple H’s ambiguous comment might have been part of a pre-planned comeback, but not everyone is convinced by this theory.

Sean Ross Sapp: “Not a Work”
Reporting on wrestling, Sean Ross Sapp strongly disputed the idea that it was staged. Earlier, Sapp had verified that Killings’ departure was genuine. After the event Money in the Bank, Sapp tweeted that it wasn’t a work of fiction, and he suggested that Killings and the WWE negotiated a deal at the last possible moment.
In the world of WWE, nobody – absolutely no one – from behind the scenes has suggested that R-Truth’s contract expiration was staged as part of a storyline. There isn’t even a hint or a maybe in this case.
Many found themselves deeply distressed by his absence. Numerous individuals engaged in heartfelt discussions with R-Truth regarding the event. It was evident that he wasn’t pleased with the turn of events. Now, undeniably, everyone who feels the same way is overjoyed about it, particularly considering its potential implications for them in similar circumstances.
R-Truth himself announced his departure, which wasn’t leaked by a website. The WWE subsequently confirmed that this was due to the expiration of his contract, not a release. Further announcements about contract expirations followed.
Perhaps, the only mistake WWE might have made more than releasing R-Truth was deceiving their entire roster and staff by falsely claiming that they let the most adored wrestler on the team go.
I’m currently trying to gather more information about the situation, but according to PWInsider.com, the agreement was finalized just recently.
Absolutely no one in WWE, not a single soul, is suggesting the departure of R-Truth due to his contract expiration was scripted or fake. Not a hint of “it might have been.” This news left many fans deeply disappointed and led to heartfelt conversations with R-Truth himself, who wasn’t pleased about it either.

Deal Made Last-Minute?
Cody Rhodes weighs in
As a devoted cinephile, I couldn’t help but chime in during the post-show Q&A. I gave credit where it’s due, acknowledging the passionate fans who relentlessly advocated for Cody Rhodes’ comeback, making it happen.
To put it simply, the essence is that you’ve been asking for authenticity, and that’s what we strive to deliver – it’s our mission, Triple H, Nick Khan, to meet your expectations. So, thank you for making your preferences clear.
R-Truth’s responds
In response to Triple H’s remarks, even R-Truth’s son joined the conversation, saying “Enough with the exaggeration” (translated as “Stop the cap”). He also extended his congratulations to his father for securing a fresh agreement.

We’ll likely learn more on Monday Night Raw, airing at 8pm EST on Netflix.
It’s also possible that WWE kept the news about Killings’ return a secret, even from other wrestlers in the locker room and Killings himself, before unexpectedly re-signing him at the last moment.
