The real reason behind R-Truth's return to WWE - with the fan favourite appearing at Money in the Bank just days after being released from the company
R-Truth made a shocking return to WWE just days after it appeared his contract with the company had not been renewed. Truth, now going by his real name Ron Killings, emotionally announced last week that his nearly two-decade spell with the company had come to an end amid multiple other high-profile releases. 'I'm sorry to inform you all. I just got released from WWE,' the 53-year-old wrote on X. '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 news quickly caused backlash among fans on social media, with many accusing the company of displaying a lack of loyalty to one of their most trusted talents. The 53-year-old announced in a tweet last week that he had been released from the company Truth's exodus ultimately proved to be short-lived however, as he renewed his feud with John Cena by intervening in the Undisputed WWE champion's match at Money in the Bank on Saturday. At the post-show press conference WWE chief Triple H appeared to indicate that the Truth's contact situation had all been part of the show. However, a report from Fightful has revealed that the situation was not a work. Sources told the publication that Truth had been let go in a 'cold and impersonal way' and that he had reportedly been informed of the news by a talent relations employee rather than the senior brass. Amidst a significant furore from fans, WWE are said to have contacted Truth multiple times throughout the intervening period without a response before WWE president Nick Khan intervened and was able to strike a deal on a new contract. The deal is said to have been completed with 72 hours of Saturday's premium live event in Inglewood, California.

‘We want it' – Sadiq Khan tells WWE legend Triple H to bring WrestleMania to London for first time ever
LONDON MAYOR Sadiq Khan continues to push WWE to bring WrestleMania to the British capital. British WWE fans have been wanting professional wrestling's biggest show to come to the UK for decades. 3 3 3 And Khan, 54, is working rigorously to bring Mania outside of North America for the first time in the show's 40-plus-year history. The UK has some of the most hardcore WWE fans around the world and London has hosted a series of major premium live events, including Money in the Bank in 2023 and SummerSlam in 1992. The mayor wants to make the pro wrestling enthusiasts' dream a reality and has held talks with WWE chief content officer Paul 'Triple H' Levesque, who previously suggested he is open to the prospect. And he made one more major call to Triple H urging him to bring the Show of Shows across the Pond to the "sporting capital". London has hosted a number of major sporting events throughout the years, including Champions League finals, NFL matches and of course the 2012 Olympics. Khan told CNBC: "I'd love for WrestleMania to come to London. "Triple H if you're watching, we want WrestleMania to come to London. "If WrestleMania came to London, my message to the team there is that we wouldn't just have a great weekend, we'd have a festival, of you know, legends in WrestleMania coming to London, current stars, but also future stars as a well. "It will open a completely new market for them as well. "I think the potential has not been reached in terms of WrestleMania. "We are the sporting capital, in my view, of the world. And if WrestleMania wants to expand, the obvious place to come is London."
