Money in the Bank is officially in the history books, and it will forever be remembered as the night R-Truth shocked the world. Earlier this month, the Suntan Superman announced he would leave the WWE in the coming weeks. He revealed the company chose not to renew his contract. But in a surprising twist, Truth made an appearance at MITB, coming to the aid of Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso in their battle against John Cena and Logan Paul.
Killings’ son, Christopher Killings, took to Instagram and posted a status. He revealed that the 54-time 24/7 Champion had signed a new deal with WWE and was excited for one last run. Not only that, he even blasted Triple H’s comment on social media. In the post-event press conference, Hunter said that Truth’s departure from the company was just ‘part of a plan.’
Christopher responded to the clip, saying that Hunter was spreading blatant lies. However, he later deleted the story once it got too much attention from fans. In the final moments of the match, a mysterious figure in a black hoodie stormed the ring. He blindsided The Cenation Leader with a brutal shot using a championship title.
Moments later, he pulled back the hood to reveal himself as none other than R-Truth. The revelation sent the WWE Universe into a frenzy, leaving even The American Nightmare stunned in the ring. Without wasting a moment, Rhodes capitalized on the chaos and pinned Cena in the center of the ring to secure the win for his team. However, R-Truth didn’t stick around—he quickly exited through the crowd before WWE officials could intervene.
WWE Unveils New Merchandise for R-Truth With a Little Twist
At first, WWE played it off as if R-Truth’s return was completely unexpected. However, as time went on, it became clear that his comeback was part of a carefully planned storyline all along. Shortly after his return, WWE released new merchandise—not under the name R-Truth, but using his real name—adding another layer of intrigue to the unfolding narrative.
WWE Shop unveiled a striking new T-shirt celebrating some of his most memorable moments. Interestingly, the design didn’t feature his ring name but instead used his real name—Ron Killings. Displayed boldly in deep red font, the shirt marks a notable shift, as WWE now appears to be embracing his real name on-screen.
This could signal a rebranding, with ‘Ron Killings’ potentially replacing ‘R-Truth’ moving forward. According to a report by PWInsider, the decision to bring Truth back was made just 72 hours before MITB. It appears WWE reconsidered after facing significant backlash online from fans upset over the reported release of the former United States Champion.
