Dustin Rhodes took to X/Twitter and thanked Truth for his contributions to the industry.

"Thank you @RonKillings, #GoldenTruth. Miss ya buddy," he wrote.

Kevin Owens also shared a heartfelt message to R-Truth

The former United States Champion has been receiving multiple messages from across the pro wrestling industry and fans around the world.

Kevin Owens recently penned down an emotional post on X/Twitter after the WWE legend announced his contract status.

"I’ve said many times that there are a few people in this industry for whom I have unlimited respect, love and admiration for. @RonKillings is at the very top of that list. An incredible, timeless performer with an unmatched ability to entertain and bring a smile to anyone he encounters, be it the fans or every single person lucky enough to have had the privilege to work alongside him. His kindness, humility and infectious good nature makes him one of the most beloved people I’ve met in this industry and the void that his absence will leave in our locker room is immeasurable. I love you, dude," he said.
