Cody Rhodes Says R-Truth’s Return Was WWE Listening to Fans

R-Truth’s shocking return at Money in the Bank 2025 didn’t just rock the WWE Universe—it was a direct response to the fans, according to Cody Rhodes.

Speaking on the WWE Money in the Bank post-show, Cody directly addressed the deafening “We Want Truth” chants that have followed WWE all week—and 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 moment capped off a chaotic main event where Truth—disguised under a mask—speared John Cena and cost him and Logan Paul the tag match against Rhodes and Jey Uso. It wasn’t just a return; it was a statement.

As noted earlier, R-Truth is officially back with WWE and will be using the name Ron Killings, at least for now. What makes it even crazier is that he was reportedly in talks for indie bookings just days before, with his return to WWE coming together within the last 72 hours.

The return came on the heels of fans hijacking shows across the board. From RAW and NXT to SmackDown and even TNA’s Against All Odds event, chants for Truth were impossible to ignore. WWE didn’t just hear them—they acted.

With Ron Killings now back on WWE programming and Cody openly acknowledging the fan-driven comeback, this might be one of the rare times WWE truly gave the people exactly what they wanted.
