Cody Rhodes Calls R-Truth’s WWE Return a Direct Response to Fans
R-Truth’s shocking return at Money in the Bank 2025 didn’t just electrify the WWE Universe—it was a direct response to the fans, according to Cody Rhodes.
During the WWE Money in the Bank post-show, Cody addressed the deafening “We Want Truth” chants that have echoed across WWE programming all week. He confirmed that bringing back R-Truth—now using his real name, Ron Killings—was no coincidence.
“The truth is, you guys wanted Truth,” Cody said. “It’s always our job, everybody up here, everybody over here, Triple H, Nick Khan, it’s always our job to give you what you want, so thank you guys for letting us know.”
The return was perfectly timed. During a chaotic main event, Ron Killings—disguised under a mask—speared John Cena, costing Cena and Logan Paul their tag match against Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso. It wasn’t just a comeback; it was a statement.
As reported earlier, R-Truth is officially back with WWE and will be wrestling under his real name, Ron Killings, at least for now. What makes this story even crazier is that Killings was reportedly in talks for independent bookings just days before—his WWE return was finalized within the past 72 hours.
The return also came on the heels of fans hijacking shows across the board. From RAW and NXT to SmackDown—and even at TNA’s Against All Odds event—chants for Truth were impossible to ignore. WWE didn’t just hear them—they took action.
With Cody openly acknowledging the fan-driven comeback and WWE putting Ron Killings right back into the spotlight, this may be one of the rare times WWE truly gave the people exactly what they wanted.
