R-Truth receives outpouring of support from WWE stars after stunning release: ‘Immeasurable' void
Ron 'R-Truth' Killings, a fixture in WWE programming for nearly two decades, announced Sunday that he has officially been released from the company. Killings posted on his official X account: 'I'm sorry to inform you all. I just got released from WWE. I want to thank WWE for the ride, but MOSTLY I want to thank each and EVERYONE OF YOU who was along for the ride. Thank you for all the love, support, and appreciation you have given me over the years.' The announcement quickly prompted an outpouring of messages from fellow wrestlers, many of whom reflected on Killings' contributions and legacy as a respected performer in WWE for 17 years. Advertisement 3 R-Truth speaks to the audience during an in-ring promo during SmackDown at First Horizon Center on May 23, 2025. WWE Kevin Owens led the tributes, writing on X: 'I've said many times that there are a few people in this industry for whom I have unlimited respect, love and admiration for. @RonKillings is at the very top of that list. An incredible, timeless performer with an unmatched ability to entertain and bring a smile to anyone he encounters, be it the fans or every single person lucky enough to have had the privilege to work alongside him. His kindness, humility and infectious good nature makes him one of the most beloved people I've met in this industry and the void that his absence will leave in our locker room is immeasurable. I love you, dude.' The Miz, who teamed with Killings as part of 'The Awesome Truth' during a memorable run in 2011, posted to X: 'Forming Awesome Truth with you was one of the best runs of my career. No one made me laugh harder. Your energy, heart, and smile lit up every room…and every arena. You're not one of a kind, you're one in a lifetime. Love you, Truth. Keep shining.' Advertisement Natalya Neidhart added her own tribute, writing: 'You are a class act @RonKillings. You were amazing to me since day one when I met you doing my first independent wrestling show in the U.S. Last week I loved seeing how excited you were for the championship match against John Cena. You remind everyone around the world to never give up on their dreams.' 3 R-Truth celebrates his win during Monday Night RAW at Angel of the Winds Arena on December 2, 2024.

'You always have an ear and a hug for everyone, you were always so kind to me whether it was an extra just coming in looking to you for advice or as a co-worker getting to laugh with you every week. You're forever a star, a genius, a pro and someone who's presence will always be felt. You're cemented in history as one of the BEST. Love you!!' 3 R-Truth in action against JC Mateo during SmackDown at First Horizon Center on May 30, 2025. WWE via Getty Images Killings' WWE career was notable inside the ring, too.

Maja Stark came into U.S. Women's Open with low expectations and left a champion
Maja Stark came into U.S. Women's Open with low expectations and left a champion Show Caption Hide Caption Maja Stark stays calm under pressure to win the U.S. Women's Open Despite nerves and pressure, Maja Stark stayed in control to capture her first U.S. Women's Open title in impressive fashion. USGA ERIN, Wis. – It wasn't that Maja Stark felt overly confident this week. Quite the contrary, in fact. The 25-year-old Swede came into the 80th U.S. Women's Open with low expectations, thinking more about her status on tour than winning. "I think that I just stopped trying to control everything," said Stark, "and I just kind of let everything happen the way it happened." What unfolded on the wide and sometimes wild fairways and greens of Erin Hills was a fairy tale for Stark, who became the third Swede to win the U.S. Women's Open, following in the footsteps of Liselotte Neumann and Annika Sorenstam. "They texted me yesterday and just kind of said, bring it home," said Stark, who entered the final round with a one-shot lead. "That was already cool to just get those texts. Just looking at all the names on the trophy. I love the U.S. Opens. I'm so happy that it's mine now." To clinch her first major title, a steady Stark had to hold off an army of contenders on a golf course that can strike at any moment. Chief among those was world No. 1 Nelly Korda and a trio of Japanese hotshots in rookie Rio Takeda and major champions Mao Saigo and Hinako Shibuno. "I just felt like people are going to pass me probably," said Stark of her mindset with so many formidable chasers, "and I just had to stay calm through that." An aggressive player who often carries a good deal of swagger, Stark said in her post-tournament press conference that she didn't want to rely on her confidence this week. Instead, little tricks like hovering the club above the ground before she hit to release tension, served her well. Stark said her coach, Joe Hallett, "nailed the advice this week," particularly when it came to came putting. "He said that on my short putts I tend to be – if it's for par, I tend to be a little bit too curious, like I just look at the hole too much and I end up open with my shoulders and my face," said Stark. "I'm left-eye dominant, so if I just look at the hole like that, then I end up seeing the line too far to the right. So he just said kind of tilt your head and just make sure that your shoulders are aligned." Stark finished the week fifth in strokes-gained putting, fourth in strokes-gained approach and 20th in strokes-gained off the tee. She was exceptionally solid throughout the bag and extra patient. "She was just really in the moment," said her comedian-turned-caddie Jeff Brighton, "and hit the right shots at the right time." Stark, who didn't look at a leaderboard until the 17th, never lost the lead she'd slept on, closing with a 2-under 70 to finish at 7 under for the tournament, two strokes clear of Nelly Korda and Rio Takeda. Korda, winless thus far in 2025, got within a stroke of the lead after she made the turn in 34, but as Stark made birdie on the par-4 11th, Korda dropped a shot up ahead at the 13th, building the Swede's lead to three. Korda often describes her relationship with the U.S. Women's Open as complicated, and when asked why that is, said maybe it's because she first played in one at age 14 and feels more emotionally tied. "I mean, definitely it's gotten my heart broken a couple times," said Korda, "especially last year with coming off the season I was coming off of. To have that showing last year definitely put a dagger into my heart, but that's just golf. "You're going to lose more than you win a majority of the time. I feel like I actually learn a lot about myself and my game and where I need to improve playing the U.S. Women's Open because it does test every part of your game." Before this week, Stark was worried that it might be some time before she played decent golf again. Her game felt so far away. Now she's just the 56th player to ever hoist the U.S. Women's Open trophy, and she couldn't stop smiling. "I wasn't as nervous as I thought that I would be because it felt like I have somewhat control of my game and I kind of know what's going on," she said. "Then obviously with the pressure and everything, your mistakes get bigger, but it felt like I could just like control anything that was thrown at me really today."
