When R-Truth’s WWE Return Came Together: Ron Killings Steps Back Into the Spotlight

R-Truth is back—and this time, he’s going by his real name, Ron Killings. The longtime WWE veteran made a shocking appearance at Money in the Bank 2025, signaling a fresh start for one of wrestling’s most beloved figures.

According to a new report from PWInsider, R-Truth—now officially known as Ron Killings—has rejoined WWE programming following his surprise return at the premium live event. One backstage source confirmed that “R-Truth is officially back with WWE and will be using the name Ron Killings, at least for now.”

This move could mark a significant shift for the former 24/7 Champion, who has long been known for his comedic segments and lighthearted persona. But his dramatic spear on John Cena, which cost Cena and Logan Paul a tag match, hints at a more serious side to the WWE star.

What’s even more surprising is just how quickly his comeback came together. PWInsider notes that Killings was in talks for independent bookings only days before his WWE return—and that the deal to bring him back was finalized within the past 72 hours.

The timing couldn’t have been better. The “We Want Truth” chants erupted across WWE programming—from RAW and SmackDown to NXT and even TNA’s Against All Odds. Fans were loud, and WWE heard them loud and clear. Few expected the company to pivot so fast—and even fewer expected the return of Ron Killings rather than R-Truth.

Now that Ron Killings is officially back on the roster, fans are left wondering: Is this a sign of a permanent rebrand? Could WWE finally be giving him the serious run many have felt he deserved all along?

What do you think of WWE bringing back R-Truth as Ron Killings? Is this a permanent shift or just a short-term gimmick? Sound off in the comments below and share your thoughts on what’s next!
