'Heartbreaking': R-Truth announces shocking split with WWE after 17-year run
R-Truth has been a consistent presence on the WWE roster since 2008. (Michael Owens/WWE via Getty Images) Ron Killings, best known under his WWE ring name R-Truth, is parting ways with the company he's called home for nearly two decades. Killings announced the shocking news Sunday on social media: "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. Thank you." Sean Ross Sapp subsequently reported that Killings' contract is set to expire without a planned renewal, rather than WWE releasing him outright. Advertisement Killings, 53, made his final WWE appearance this past Friday on "WWE SmackDown," when he lost a short match to JC Mateo. The match came after Killings performed in his highest-profile WWE spot in several years, wrestling the current Undisputed WWE Champion John Cena on May 25 at Saturday Night's Main Event. The news of Killings' departure quickly sent shockwaves throughout the WWE roster, eliciting several responses from major WWE superstars like Rhea Ripley, Kevin Owens and Big E. Killings enjoyed a brief first stint with WWE from 1999 to 2001 before leaving and becoming a notable name in NWA and TNA. In NWA, he was a two-time world champion and two-time tag-team champion. He also held tag-team gold in TNA. Sunday's stunning announcement ends a 17-year run with WWE for Killings, which saw him become a fan-favorite and capture the U.S. Championship twice, in addition to having two separate tag-team title reigns with The Miz and Kofi Kingston. Most of all, Killings was known for his incredible comedy work, which ultimately saw WWE create an entire title concept for him, the 24/7 Championship, from 2019-22. He held the title 54 times.

Why Fans Think Roman Reigns Will Return to WWE Soon
Roman Reigns has been off WWE TV since the explosive fallout after WrestleMania 41, where he was taken out by Seth Rollins and Bron Breakker. Since then, fans have been wondering when The Tribal Chief will return. And based on this week's RAW, many believe it could be sooner than expected. All signs for Roman Reigns' WWE return listed During Monday Night RAW, Seth Rollins made his entrance with Paul Heyman, Bron Breakker, and Bronson Reed. All four wore sharp suits, and while their look didn't mirror The Shield's signature gear, longtime fans picked up on a familiar vibe. Commentary added to the speculation, with Pat McAfee noting how Rollins hasn't had this kind of backup since his Shield days with Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose. Advertisement No hand signs. No tactical gear. But the comparison wasn't accidental, as WWE rarely drops nostalgia without purpose. This felt like a subtle breadcrumb for fans paying attention. Another big flag was Paul Heyman's sudden shift in tone. After weeks of avoiding any mention of Reigns, Heyman went out of his way to take shots at him. While hyping up Bronson Reed, he quipped that Reed had hurt Rollins more in one night than Roman had in a decade. For someone who once stood by Reigns' side for years, that kind of insult felt especially loaded. And to top it off, Heyman closed his speech by asking the crowd to acknowledge Rollins. Moreover, right now, the balance in WWE's main event scene feels a little lopsided. Rollins' crew is stacked, while CM Punk, Sami Zayn, and occasionally Jey Uso are struggling to keep up. Roman Reigns, who was betrayed by Heyman and beaten down by Rollins, would make sense to return to WWE. Advertisement Additionally, there was talk of Reigns returning for Money in the Bank 2025, but Rollins being announced for the ladder match makes that unlikely. If Rollins is in that match, the teased tag team showdown can't happen — at least not there. This shift has fans speculating that Reigns' comeback could be saved for a bigger moment, possibly SummerSlam.

Liv Morgan returns to WWE RAW from Hollywood amidst trouble in paradise
Liv Morgan returned to Monday Night RAW this week and addressed everything going on while she was gone. The Judgment Day has been an exciting attraction to watch on Monday Night RAW each week. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Ever since WrestleMania season concluded, one member had been missing. That was one-half of the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions, Liv Morgan. The Miracle Kid had been away to Hollywood, and a lot happened behind her back. This week on the red brand, she made her return and went straight to handle business. Liv Morgan's onscreen relationship seems to be in trouble on WWE RAW A week after WrestleMania 41, Liv Morgan was granted time off to pursue her Hollywood project, 'Bad Lieutenant: Tokyo.' She left for Japan to begin filming while things were looking to be switching up in her absence. After weeks of being spotted in backstage talks, Finn Balor introduced Roxanne Perez to The Judgment Day on RAW last week. The Prodigy took an interest in becoming a new member and made some advances, especially towards Dominik Mysterio by offering him his favorite chicken tenders. This week on RAW, Perez again brought some tenders for Dirty Dom and was seen trying to help Mysterio with his shoulder in a backstage segment. At that moment, the WWE Universe saw Liv Morgan coming back, who did not look happy with what was going on. She revealed that her tag team partner, Raquel Rodriguez, had been keeping her up to date, and she would handle business, pointing towards Roxanne Perez. Later that night, Morgan was in singles action against Kairi Sane. Following a stellar match, the ending moments saw Perez appear out of nowhere and push Sane off the top rope, as if she were trying to help Morgan. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Raquel Rodriguez confronted her, leading to an argument. This distracted Liv Morgan long enough for Kairi Sane to take advantage and pin Morgan's shoulders to the mat for the win. Perez's attempt to seemingly help Dominik Mysterio's girlfriend backfired. With Morgan making it clear that she knows everything that went on behind her back, it will be interesting to see how this storyline pans out moving forward. Also read:
