It appeared that R-Truth's time in the promotion had come to an end earlier this year, but WWE decided to bring him back at Money in the Bank 2025. He returned to help Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso defeat Logan Paul and John Cena in a tag team match at the PLE earlier this year.

Truth cut a promo as Ron Killings during the show and cut off his hair. Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's Legion of RAW show, Russo suggested that the promo ruined the former champion's new character.

"Let's look at Truth tonight. The whole speech on top of the table. Bro, if I'm a casual fan, I don't know what he's talking about. So, Truth, why don't you just say, 'They weren't going to renew my contract because I'm 53 years old.' Say now, oh I understand ageism, 53, by the fact that he's given 53, people are saying, 'Holy cr*p, he's 53.' Now, all of a sudden, they're behind Truth because he's 53. But the story he told, if I'm a casual fan who is not online, I don't know what he's talking about," said Russo.

The 53-year-old has been with WWE since 2008 and is a former United States Champion. It will be fascinating to see if the company has anything planned for Truth in the weeks ahead.
