R-Truth has been through it all this past year—release, redemption, and a role in John Cena’s farewell tour. But nothing hit him harder than the moment he realized just how much the WWE Universe had his back.
Speaking with the New York Post, R-Truth recalled the raw emotion of being released and the overwhelming fan reaction that followed. The love he received from fans and peers alike made it clear: R-Truth is more than a gimmick—he’s family to generations of wrestling fans.
“I remember being in the garage with my son and I don’t think he knew what was on my mind. He was just in the garage, and everything was just blowing up. And he said, ‘Damn, Dad, it was all worth it.’ And those words stuck with me, man.”
“That’s when I feel like I had reached the pinnacle of my career. That was historical for me. To see that much and feel that much love, man—it put an S on my chest. It made me feel like I was… the universe, the people in this world had me. I felt unified, man. I felt unification. I just felt like we all came together. I mean, again, I could go on and on about that moment, man. I embraced it.”
What followed next was straight out of a wrestling fairy tale—WWE brought him back. And not just through the standard channels. It was WWE President Nick Khan himself who reached out with the call.
“Yes. Nick. Yes. Man, that meant a lot to me. That meant so much to me, man. And we sat on the phone for like an hour. I really appreciated him calling me—and the things he said to me on the phone.”
The return turned into storyline gold, with fans left wondering how much of the story was real. That’s exactly how R-Truth likes it.
“That’s like David Copperfield. You never get to see what’s inside the hat, right? Ron Killings, R-Truth, Ron Cena… I like the fact that they’ll never know now. Because that’s what wrestling do. We take a lot of real stuff and we mix it. And we take a lot of stuff that we create and we mix it. So like, you have to decipher what’s real and what’s not real.”
R-Truth isn’t just a comedy act or a nostalgia pop. He’s proof that authenticity, loyalty, and emotional connection still matter in wrestling. And thanks to a timely phone call and a worldwide outpouring of support, he’s right back where he belongs.
