Ron Killings Debuts Serious New Look on TikTok After Raw Haircut Stunt

Ron Killings is done playing around—and now he’s got the haircut to prove it.

The longtime WWE star, formerly known as R-Truth, shocked fans on Monday Night Raw when he chopped off his signature dreads live on air. It was more than just a style change—it was a statement. Killings declared he’s dropping the comedy act and stepping into a new era under his real name. “I’m going by Ron Killings now,” he told the WWE Universe during Raw. “No more R-Truth. No more games.”

Less than 24 hours later, Killings took to TikTok Live to give fans a closer look at his cleaned-up cut, now fully shaped up after the in-ring scissors moment. “I like this. I think this is more Ron Killings fitting right here,” he said while showing off the new look.

Killings made it clear he’s leaving the fun-loving persona behind for something real. “You see what I’m saying? This is more serious. All of the dreads and the dye and all that – man, get outta here.”

Killings has made a career out of entertaining, but with the Money in the Bank return and this drastic rebrand, it’s clear he’s aiming to be seen in a different light. Whether WWE leans into this shift long-term remains to be seen—but for now, Ron Killings is serious, focused, and not looking back.
