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.

Kofi Kingston files formal complaint against WWE referee after RAW chaos
Image via WWE In a surprising turn of events following WWE RAW on June 2, World Tag Team Champion Kofi Kingston took to social media to announce that he had filed an official complaint against referee Jessika Carr. The incident occurred during a tag team match involving The War Raiders and Judgment Day's Finn Balor and JD McDonagh, where Kingston and Xavier Woods were present at ringside. As part of the New Day's usual antics, Kofi and Woods stirred up some ringside mischief - something that didn't sit well with Carr. In a swift move, the referee ejected both tag champs from ringside, a decision that left Kofi visibly frustrated. Hours later, the veteran WWE Superstar took to X (formerly Twitter) to make his stance clear. 'Let the record show: I have just filed an official complaint about the heinous and overreaching actions of @WWELadyRefJess tonight,' Kingston wrote. Referee Jessika Carr hits back with no regrets Referee Jessika Carr didn't let the criticism go unanswered. In a confident response, she posted, 'Complain all you want my friend, but the official has the final word. Sorry, not sorry…..pal. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo Better luck next time.' While Carr's tweet was met with support from many fans, others took the opportunity to stir the pot, reigniting debates about officiating decisions in WWE. One user commented, 'Good call Jess!' while another fan humorously added, 'I'm writing a letter and sending it to corporate too. Snail mail.' Amid the ringside chaos, Judgment Day capitalized. Roxanne Perez, the group's newest ally, distracted The War Raiders at a crucial moment, giving Balor the opening to land his signature Coup de Grace and secure the win for his team. While neither team has officially been announced as No. 1 contenders yet, the win puts Balor and McDonagh in a strong position to challenge Kingston and Woods for the World Tag Team Championships in the near future. Roxanne Perez helps Judgment Day defeat War Raiders: Raw highlights, June 2, 2025 Will WWE respond to Kofi Kingston's complaint? As of now, WWE has not issued any formal response to Kingston's complaint, nor has on-screen authority figure Adam Pearce commented on the matter. However, fans online are watching closely. Some believe this could be the start of a larger storyline, especially with Judgment Day potentially eyeing the tag titles and tensions between teams reaching a boiling point. Others see this as a playful jab by Kingston, who is known for blending humor and theatrics into his performances - both in the ring and online. Still, the fact that the complaint was made 'official' adds a layer of intrigue. WWE's history of incorporating real-time fan interactions and social media moments into ongoing feuds means this incident could escalate quickly in the coming weeks. Whether it results in a disciplinary hearing, a comedic backstage segment, or adds fuel to an upcoming tag team feud, Kofi's actions have once again put New Day in the spotlight. With Jessika Carr holding her ground and Judgment Day gaining momentum, the tag division may be heading into a volatile phase. For now, fans will have to wait and see if Kingston's formal protest leads to any consequences - or if it's simply another example of WWE's chaos unfolding both inside and outside the ring.

Now, the tech giant has also revealed the hashmoji for the event, which will be displayed on X when users add #WWDC25 on their posts.

As we have only 6 days left, Apple introduces the new custom icon called hashmoji, which will appear when users make any post with #WWDC25. The hashmoji looks quite familiar to Apple's promotional art for the event, with a transparent Apple logo and hues of rainbow colours at the edges.
