WWE releases R-Truth after his contract expiration in his second tryst with the company
R-Truth (Image via WWE) WWE has released yet another star from the company, as revealed by R-Truth aka Ron Killings. The 53-year-old veteran was seen in a high-profile match against John Cena recently at the Saturday Night Main Event show, which he lost. He made another appearance after that on SmackDown, where he faced another loss at the hands of JC Mateo. And now, on June 1, 2025, he took to his social media account to inform everyone of his departure from the promotion. R-Truth announces his departure from WWE Seeing his "childhood hero" turn heel and getting to fight against him on the big stage was probably one of the best ways for R-Truth to say goodbye to the squared ring at WWE. He took to his X (formerly Twitter) account to reveal the news of his exit from the company. They had previously let him know that WWW would not be renewing his contract upon it expiring, which was his second tryst with the company. He thanked the company and his fans, "who was along for the ride," and "the love, support, and appreciation" he has gotten from everyone over the years. While it is sad indeed that Killings would be leaving the Stamford-based promotion after so many years, given that his "childhood hero" is currently on his "Farewell Tour," this is probably the best time for him to leave the company as well. Or at least something that he wants. Rhea Ripley comments on this "heartbreaking" news Rhea Ripley , one of the biggest stars in the company's current roster, is right there with the fans, who are understandably sad to see R-Truth leave. She left a sweet comment under Killings' post on X, sharing the fans' heartbreak over the recent revelation. She also thanked the wrestler, who has always been one of the biggest spots of fun and laughter within the company. She is not the only one; many other wrestling stars from different promotions have taken to their social media to thank R-Truth for everything he brought to the table. From Kelani Jordan, who is an NXT superstar, to fellow SmackDown star Carmelo Hayeys to AEW's RICOCHET, many have shared their thoughts on R-Truth after his exit was made public. Fans have also been thanking the WWE superstar for being one of the best parts of the company. Also Read: WWE couple Liv Morgan and Dominik Mysterio spark PDA buzz at Netflix event

'Dating a useless person': Kayla Nicole takes the high road but shades Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift in powerful breakup reflection
Kayla Nicole addressed her feelings about their breakup and Travis Kelce's relationship with Taylor Swift (Getty Images) Kayla Nicole, the social media influencer and former longtime girlfriend of Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce, has broken her silence in a raw and revealing episode of her Pre-Game podcast. Though it's been years since her on-and-off relationship with Kelce ended, Nicole is finally addressing the emotional fallout—and how it feels watching your ex fall for someone as globally adored as Taylor Swift. Kayla Nicole opens up about heartbreak, healing, and why 'losing to a useless person' stings more While Nicole didn't name Swift directly, her message was loud and clear. 'Kudos to those who can admit that the new girl is hot,' she said. 'Our exes deserve love just as much as we do.' But it wasn't all peace and positivity. In one of her more pointed observations, she reflected on the reality many women face post-breakup: 'It's worse if the guy you loved is dating a useless person.' The remark, widely interpreted as a subtle dig at Swift, has stirred conversation online about how public breakups can trigger deeply personal emotions. From romance to real life: Kayla Nicole wins the dogs and gains perspective Nicole also gave listeners an inside look into her private life post-Kelce. Among the more unexpected battles? Custody of their two dogs, Rambo and Chauncey. Nicole humorously revealed, 'I had a dog bill the other day that was $2,000.' While she joked about the steep cost of care, she made it clear she wouldn't have it any other way. Taking on full responsibility for the dogs has been one of her more meaningful commitments since the split. Focusing on growth as Travis Kelce's public romance draws attention As Kelce continues to dominate headlines with Taylor Swift—amid ongoing Eras Tour buzz and even wedding speculation—Nicole's focus appears to be on self-worth and emotional resilience. 'If you're going to lose someone, you should lose to the best team,' she said, emphasizing her desire for her ex to 'go do your big one.' But despite her evolved mindset, Nicole's comments make it clear that healing isn't always graceful—and that it's okay to feel a mix of pride, regret, and even a bit of spite. Also Read: Taylor Swift ditches Travis Kelce for glamorous solo night out in NYC — is trouble brewing before the ring?
