R-Truth isn’t just back on WWE TV—he returned in a major way, and he’s now going by his real name, Ron Killings.
According to a new report from PWInsider, the longtime veteran is once again part of WWE programming following his shocking appearance at Money in the Bank 2025. One source told the outlet that “R-Truth is officially back with WWE and will be using the name Ron Killings, at least for now.”
The decision to revert to his real name could signal a change in direction for the former 24/7 Champion, who’s long been seen as a comedy figure—but made a serious impact when he speared John Cena and cost him a tag match alongside Logan Paul.
What makes this return even wilder is how fast it all came together. It was noted that Killings had been in talks about independent bookings just days ago, adding that his WWE comeback came together quickly—reportedly within the past 72 hours.
The “We Want Truth” movement took over wrestling this past week, with chants breaking out across RAW, SmackDown, NXT, and even at TNA’s Against All Odds. But no one expected WWE to pull the trigger so fast—let alone bring him back with a new identity.
With Ron Killings now officially back on the roster, WWE fans might be looking at a whole new chapter for a man who’s been underestimated for far too long.
What do you think of WWE bringing back R-Truth as Ron Killings? Does this name change mean he’s taking a more serious path—or is it just a temporary move? Drop your thoughts in the comments below.
