The dramatic return of WWE veteran R-Truth at Money in the Bank 2025 has not only electrified the wrestling ring but also ignited a social media frenzy. After Truth, real name Ron Killings - stunned the WWE Universe by attacking John Cena in the main event, questions swirled about whether his earlier contract non-renewal was a genuine release or an elaborate work.
During the post-show press conference, WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H downplayed the situation with a cryptic five-word reply: 'All part of the show, man.' But not everyone seemed convinced, including R-Truth's own son.

R-Truth's son calls It out
In a now-deleted Instagram Story, Christopher Killings posted an image featuring the phrase 'Stop the 🧢' (a popular slang implying someone is lying), followed by a congratulatory message for his father: 'Congrats on the new deal dad! Last run.'
The post strongly suggested that WWE's decision to bring R-Truth back was reactionary, not planned. Multiple backstage reports align with that, indicating that Truth was in talks with appearance promoters and even had interest from TNA Wrestling until WWE seemingly reversed course due to fan backlash.
Christopher's post has since been deleted, but screenshots circulated widely. It left many fans and wrestling pundits questioning the authenticity of WWE's narrative.
Reactions to Triple H's statement were swift and unforgiving across platforms like X (formerly Twitter). Fans voiced frustration, with one user posting, 'Triple H exposed. He just didn't want to admit the fans brought R-Truth back.' Another added, 'They didn't expect us to love R-Truth as much as we did.'
Cody Rhodes, who pinned John Cena with help from Truth, also addressed the situation. During his post-show panel appearance, he said, 'It's always our job...
to give you what you want. So thank you for letting us know.'
R-Truth, now going by his real name Ron Killings, seems set for one final chapter in WWE. While not officially confirmed, his son's 'last run' comment has given fans reason to believe this return may serve as his farewell.
With a career spanning nearly two decades, Truth has left a lasting mark through championship runs, unforgettable comedic moments, and a strong connection with fans.
His return, fueled by overwhelming public support - shows how deeply he resonates with the WWE Universe.
What lies ahead remains to be seen. A renewed feud with Cena or a fresh character shift under his real name could bring a meaningful twist to his final act. Whatever the direction, fans made it clear: R-Truth deserved a better ending - and now, he might just get one.

Netflix Co-CEO Ted Sarandos recalls launch of 'Scared Games', calls Indian entertainment market

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], June 8 (ANI): Nawazuddin Siddiqui's 'Sacred Games' was India's first original web series, directed by Anurag Kashyap and released on Netflix in 2018. The series is considered to have marked a significant shift in India's digital entertainment landscape, underscoring the potential of web series and streaming platforms in India. Netflix's Co-CEO, Ted Sarandos, recently opened up about the platform's expectations from the Sacred Games, as it was their first big web series venture in India. In a wide-ranging conversation with Nikhil Kamath on his podcast, CEO Ted Sarandos recalled the platform's early creative choices in India, particularly 'Sacred Games', India's first original web series. Sarandos noted, 'It was very, very novel (Sacred Games), but I didn't realise that we were going to be introducing a brand new kind of entertainment to a country the size of India.' The Netflix co-CEO also acknowledged the broader learning curve of the OTT platforms in India. Despite the early struggles, Sarandos said that he believed in India's huge entertainment market capacity before launching India's first original web series. 'Early on, it took us a couple of years to get the product-market fit right, including payment systems and all those things. We knew that India was going to be a slower journey, but it's a great prize at the end of the day. Right now, you can see how fast Indian households are adopting fixed broadband, big-screen TV is growing - the addressable market in India is exploding in the next couple of years. So it's exciting,' said Ted Sarandos at Nikhil Kamath's podcast. Sarandos also discussed the timing of the show's launch, saying, 'If I did it all over again, would I have done Sacred Games a couple of years later? Maybe.' However, this statement didn't sit well with Anurag Kashyap as he believed his directorial 'Sacred Games' was launched at the right time. Taking to his Instagram handle, Anurag expressed his displeasure, sharing a screenshot of a report on Sarandos' comments on Nikhil Kamath's podcast. In a post, he wrote, 'He should have started with Saas Bahu... he would have done well. Which he is doing now. I always knew the tech guys are dumb when it comes to storytelling, but @tedsarandos is the definition of dumb - that I didn't know. Good to discover that. This explains everything now.' 'Sacred Games', starring Saif Ali Khan and Nawazuddin Siddiqui, was widely praised upon its debut and marked a pivotal moment in India's streaming content landscape. Directed by Anurag Kashyap and Vikramaditya Motwane, the gritty thriller was lauded for its storytelling and production value, although its second season drew mixed reactions, and the series was not continued beyond that.
