R-Truth Defends WWE After Switching Characters Again Magic Post

WWE changed R-Truth’s gimmick again. He now defends this decision taken by his employer.

On June 1, Truth confirmed that his contract with WWE had expired. After this announcement, he received a lot of support from fans and behind the scenes. As a result, WWE brought him back a week later to interfere and cost John Cena and Logan Paul their match at Money in the Bank. The following week on RAW, Truth delivered a serious promo in which he cut off his braids and renamed himself Ron Killings. After Cena turned babyface again, WWE ditched the Ron Killings gimmick and brought back R-Truth.

During a recent interview with CBS Sports, R-Truth said the Ron Killings gimmick was going where it was supposed to go, but the fans spoke up and they wanted Truth back.

“It went where it was supposed to go. Ron Killings created R-Truth. Those hundreds of millions of fans who talked and screamed. They wanted R-Truth back. Ron Killings was the rebel who stood up for R-Truth.”

He further added that Ron Killings has been around for years, but he never got the level of support that Truth got.

“Ron Killings has been around for years, but people have never come together like this. They did this for R-Truth. You feel me? I wanted Ron Killings to go where he was supposed to go. He made a statement; he had his eyes on him. When John Cena came back, R-Truth came back. Ron Killings was the cavalry.” (H/T CBS Sports)

WWE Star R-Truth Thinks Moving Forward As Ron Killings Would Have Been Selfish

Truth became known for his funny on-screen antics, which earned him a loyal following. With his impeccable comedic timing, Truth has also managed to convince many stars to break character on screen. Therefore, fans were disappointed to see this side of Truth disappear.

During the same interview, the former 24/7 Champion revealed that continuing as Ron Killings would have been selfish since fans wanted the truth.

“I think (Ron Killings) was a selfish type deal, more of a selfish move. I had over 100 million views that wanted R-Truth. If the numbers are real, it was the power of numbers.” (H/T CBS Sports)

R-Truth was also one of only two stars to face John Cena twice during the latter’s retirement tour.
