The pro wrestling world continues to react to R-Truth‘s WWE release with one superstar calling it “total nonsense.”
Ron Killings (aka R-Truth) sent shockwaves across the industry when he announced his departure from the promotion. Fightful confirmed the announcement was legitimate and that WWE chose not to renew his contract, instead of going the usual route of releasing a contracted performer.
Fightful Select dropped another update on backstage reaction to R-Truth’s WWE release, noting the shock and disbelief expressed by a number of talent, “and that everyone seemed confused by the news, including Truth himself.”
“…The departure was met with complete shock and disbelief, with one top talent calling it ‘total nonsense.’ Another called this regime ‘ruthless.’”
CM Punk reacts to R-Truth chants after WWE RAW
R-Truth didn’t appear on RAW this past Monday, but that didn’t stop the WWE Universe from chanting his name. For those unaware, fans in attendance briefly took over CM Punk’s opening segment with “We Want Truth” truth to show their support for the beloved superstar.
The chants continued at various interval throughout the show. While Punk didn’t react to the chants during his promo segment, he made sure to respond to the crowd after the show went off the air.
Truth was one of WWE’s biggest merchandise movers prior to his release, and had come off a high-profile match with John Cena at Saturday Night’s Main Event. Fans will have to wait to see what’s next in store for him.
