After the run, he was repackaged as Ron Killings. The star even cut his hair on RAW, but there was no creative direction for him.

On a recent clip from Russo’s The Brand, Richards said R-Truth was one of the most entertaining stars on the whole roster. He pointed out how Truth could get a comedic segment out of anybody, and even fans loved him. Stevie felt WWE took his character and, amid all the chaos, made it worse.

“How does Ron Killings go from being one of the most fun, special attractions on any show? You can plug him in for three weeks, keep him off for five, bring him back for two, have him win the tag titles at WrestleMania 40 in a tough city like Philadelphia, where they all cheer for him. Nobody disliked Ron Killings. Everybody enjoyed him and liked him. You made him marketably worse. So if this is a work, if this is a storyline, if this is a repackage of Ron Killings, it’s even worse than if you didn’t mean to do it. You destroyed his entire character and everything that people enjoyed about it.”

R-Truth confirmed that he was released

In season two of Unreal on Netflix, R-Truth shared the truth about his release. He recalled that WWE informed him that they would not be renewing his contract.

The star mentioned that he spoke with company officials before sharing the news on social media. Triple H, however, suggested that the two parties were in the middle of a negotiation when Truth decided to post online.
