Right as WWE RAW kicked off on June 9, Triple H decided to speak without saying much at all. He posted a photo to Twitter standing side-by-side with R-Truth—now going by his real name, Ron Killings—with a short caption that said it all: “You wanted it… Tonight. #WWERaw”
The post, which went up just as the show opened, confirmed what many fans had already figured out—Truth was going to be front and center on RAW. But more importantly, it was Triple H’s way of responding to the growing controversy surrounding Truth’s status.
For days, fans and even WWE talent have been questioning whether Truth’s shocking return at Money in the Bank was actually planned. Triple H dodged the question at the post-show press conference, smiling and brushing it off with: “It’s all part of the show, man.” That line didn’t sit well with many inside the company.
Truth’s own son, Christopher Killings, called cap on the whole narrative—literally. He posted the word “cap” on social media in response to Triple H’s comments. Backstage sources told Fightful Select that Truth had genuinely left WWE, and the return wasn’t some long-running creative plan. One veteran even told the outlet, “I can tell Hunter doesn’t like it. He doesn’t like the fans hijacking creative.”
RAW’s June 9 lineup is already packed. Jey Uso is set to defend the WWE World Heavyweight Title against GUNTHER. King and Queen of the Ring qualifiers are going down, and appearances from Seth Rollins, John Cena, Nikki Bella, and CM Punk are all on the docket.
But there’s no question that Ron Killings’ segment—and how WWE chooses to handle the fan-driven storm around him—may end up stealing the whole night.
Do you think Triple H’s tweet was a power move or a soft walk-back? Should WWE be more honest about last-minute creative changes? Sound off in the comments.
