Triple H On R-Truth’s Return: “All Part of the Show” – R-Truth stunned the WWE Universe with a dramatic return at the Money in the Bank 2025 premium live event, interfering in the main event and helping Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso defeat John Cena and Logan Paul in a chaotic finish.
Truth, who had publicly announced his WWE departure on June 1st, ambushed Cena in the final moments of the match, blasting him with the Undisputed WWE Championship. The interference allowed Rhodes to hit a Cross Rhodes and secure the victory, as a stunned crowd erupted in disbelief.
The surprise return capped off a week of speculation and fan outcry, with “We Want Truth” chants breaking out across RAW, NXT, and SmackDown. On the post-show, Cody Rhodes addressed the return and the overwhelming fan support that followed Truth’s exit.
“The truth is, you guys wanted Truth. It’s always our job — everyone up here, everyone over there, Triple H, Nick Khan — it’s our job to give you what you want. So thank you guys for letting us know,” Rhodes said.
During the Money in the Bank post-show media scrum, WWE Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque was asked directly about R-Truth’s return and the real-life rumors surrounding his release. When USA Today’s Jordan Mendoza brought up the online buzz, Triple H responded with a smirk and dry sarcasm: “I didn’t notice.”
When pressed on whether Truth was ever actually released and if fan reaction played a part in bringing him back, Triple H deflected: “I love the question. Enjoying the show? All part of the show, man.”
Despite Triple H’s vague comments, sources close to the situation have confirmed that Ron Killings — Truth’s real name — was actively negotiating with other wrestling promotions just days ago. According to reports, he was on the verge of locking in several independent bookings before his surprise WWE return.
While some fans believe the whole situation may have been a well-executed work, industry insiders insist that the release was legitimate and that Truth’s return was finalized only in the last few days. Additionally, WWE has released new merchandise under the name “Ron Killings,” hinting that the company could be moving away from the long-running comedic R-Truth persona and toward a more serious role for the veteran star.
Whether this signals a full-time return or a character reinvention remains to be seen, but Truth’s appearance at Money in the Bank has certainly reignited interest in his future.
