On June 1, 2025, R-Truth announced his WWE departure. Just a week later, he shocked fans by returning at Money in the Bank, attacking Cena to help Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso secure a win. Triple H insisted the entire release and return storyline was planned.
But R-Truth’s son, Christopher Killings, briefly posted online urging Triple H to “stop lying,” suggesting otherwise before deleting the comment. Truth now competes under his real name, Ron Killings, a change unlikely if the release had been purely scripted.
