An impressive stat has been revealed about Ron Killings' shocking moment on WWE RAW last night. The veteran returned at Money in the Bank this past Saturday night.
Ron Killings used to be known as R-Truth, but it was made very clear during last night's edition of the red brand that he is no longer the humorous character on WWE television. Killings shockingly cut his hair while standing on the announce table and demanded that everyone put some respect on his name at the end of his promo.
CM Punk confronted John Cena in the opening segment of last night's RAW and said that he wanted to take the Undisputed WWE Championship from him. It was announced that the dream match would be taking place at Night of Champions on June 28 in Saudi Arabia.
As pointed out by Wrestlelamia, Killings' promo last night on RAW has drawn more numbers on YouTube than the segment between John Cena and CM Punk.

The 53-year-old announced earlier this month that the company had decided not to renew his contract, and wrestling fans were unhappy with the decision. Killings made his return at Money in the Bank and leveled The Cenation Leader with a Spear. Cena defeated R-Truth in a singles match last month at Saturday Night's Main Event.
Former WWE writer criticizes Ron Killings' promo on RAW
Wrestling legend Vince Russo recently shared his thoughts on Ron Killings' promo during last night's edition of WWE RAW.
On this week's episode of Sportskeeda Wrestling's Legion of RAW show, Russo claimed that the casual wrestling fan had no idea what Killings was talking about during his promo last night. He claimed that the former champion should have spoken about the company not wanting to keep him around to get fans invested.
"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." [From 10:45 onwards]
