E275: Was R-Truth's AKA Ron Killings Return A Work? Jun 08, 2025

Show notes

Ron Killings aka R-Truth says him being let go and returning was not a work!

So, was it work?

1. Ron Killings claimed it wasn’t a work

2. Ron Killings son claims it wasn’t a work

3. Chris Van Vliet doesn’t think it’s it’s a work after hearing Triple H on it at the media scrum

4. Sean Ross Sapp claims it wasn’t a work.

Did WWE work its own roster? So many from WWE and other wrestling companies were legit upset and tweeted about it. Was everyone worked?

5. Ron Killings announcement being let go that tweet received over 22 million views.

WWE 100% took notice of that number!

6. After R-Truth announced not returning, two other superstars announced they weren’t coming back.

WWE never announced these stars were done but Carlito and Valhalla are 100% gone. Carlito is doing a signing with our favorites K & S WrestleFest! Do you think WWE would stoop that low to let two go but storyline one of the three?

7. PWI claimed Ron’s new deal happened within the last 72 hours!

So, was it a work?
