Backstage news regarding R-Truth using his real name Ron Killings as part of new deal with WWE

Last weekend, R-Truth announced that he was leaving WWE. As seen during the 2025 WWE Money in the Bank PLE, R-Truth made a surprise appearance when he attacked John Cena.

It was reported that R-Truth will be using his real name (Ron Killings) in WWE moving forward. Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com noted the following regarding the change…

“Ron Killings did ask for the name change to his real name as part of his new deal as many had suspected. The advantage is that when the new deal ends he will have had TV time as Ron Killings and can then go straight to using that name on indies and for personal appearances.”

On Sunday, Killings wrote the following on Twitter/X in regards to the “We Want Truth” chants…

“🙌🏾🔥💪🏾🙏🏾 No🧢 #WeWantTruth was seen, heard, felt and understood… Believe me when I say this, I Love EVERYONE of yall to death🥲 We made history together”
