Backstage details on R-Truth's WWE return - Reports

R-Truth is back in WWE. Less than a week after he announced his release from the company, the 53-year-old icon returned in the main event of Money in the Bank tonight.

WWE put Truth right in the spotlight, as he attacked John Cena and helped Cody Rhodes pick up the win for himself and Jey Uso against The Last Real Champion and Logan Paul. This was a major shock, as his departure was reportedly legitimate.

Multiple details on R-Truth's return have been reported by Mike Johnson of PWInsider, essentially confirming that this was not a work. His in-ring name has been changed to Ron Killings for now, as confirmed by WWE themselves following Money in the Bank.

The report further stated that Truth had been in discussions about appearances and independent bookings several days ago. This indicates that the decision to bring him back was made within the past 72 hours, likely due to the fan outrage over his release.

It remains to be seen what's next for R-Truth (or Ron Killings) in WWE, especially now that it appears he's not done with John Cena. Meanwhile, Cody Rhodes has seemingly earned an Undisputed WWE Championship match after pinning the legendary star. The main event scene on SmackDown is exciting.
