His return came less than a week after he revealed via social media that WWE would not be renewing his contract. The announcement stunned the wrestling world, sparking an outpouring of support from fellow stars and fans. 'We Want Truth' chants rang out at WWE Raw, SmackDown, and NXT episodes throughout the week, creating a groundswell of emotion.
Main event drama steals the show
The dramatic interference happened just as Cena was about to pin Rhodes.
Out of nowhere, Killings appeared and speared Cena, then clocked him with the title belt. The distraction allowed Rhodes to pin the 16-time world champion. The moment not only shifted the match's outcome but also WWE's storyline momentum.
Following the event, new merchandise bearing the name 'Ron Killings' appeared on WWE Shop, hinting at a possible character change. Truth, best known for his comedic timing and charisma, now seems poised for a more serious arc.
Money in the Bank Post-Show: June 7, 2025
At the post-show press conference, WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H remained vague, simply responding, 'All part of the show,' when asked about Truth's release and return. Meanwhile, Cody Rhodes was more candid, telling fans, 'You guys wanted Truth. It's our job to give you what you want.'
Backstage emotion and industry speculation
RAW interviewer Cathy Kelley got visibly emotional backstage, reflecting on Truth's comeback. 'Since we thought we'd never see him again, this return reminded us why we love this.

I speak for the entire WWE Universe when I say, welcome back, Truth,' she said.
Industry insiders like PWInsider report that WWE and Killings reached a new deal within 72 hours of the PLE. Some insiders even claim that other promotions, including TNA, were eyeing him for a return.
Whether Truth continues as a heel or retains elements of his beloved comedic persona remains to be seen. What's certain is that WWE appears to be positioning him for something different this time, perhaps even a character reinvention.
Going by his real name, Ron Killings, hints at a more grounded, serious direction that longtime fans haven't seen in years.
The fact that WWE moved swiftly to produce merchandise and bring him back at such a high-profile event suggests a long-term creative investment. Fans online have already speculated about potential storylines, including a possible feud with Cena or even a Money in the Bank cash-in assist.
Truth's comeback also reflects a growing trend in WWE to listen and react to fan sentiment. Much like recent pivots involving LA Knight and Becky Lynch, the decision to bring back Truth shows that audience reaction can still move the creative needle - even in a scripted business.
For now, one thing is clear: the WWE Universe rallied behind him, and the company responded. Ron Killings is back, and perhaps with more purpose than ever before.
