"This is bulls**t," "TKO is killing WWE" - Fans outraged after John Cena reacts to R-Truth's heartbreaking release

The WWE Universe recently took to social media, dismayed after John Cena reacted to R-Truth's shocking release from the Stamford-based promotion. Truth's last big match was against Cena.

This year, R-Truth got to live his dream of facing his "childhood hero," John Cena, in a non-title match at Saturday Night's Main Event. Although the 53-year-old wrestled against JC Mateo on last week's SmackDown, his outing with Cena was possibly the last big match of his WWE career.

Truth recently took to X/Twitter to announce his heartbreaking release from the Stamford-based promotion. Following this, the 17-time world champion paid tribute to his long-time friend on Instagram by sharing a picture from their match at Saturday Night's Main Event.

WWE analyst Peter Rosenberg believes R-Truth is a "first ballot" Hall of Famer

After R-Truth's shocking release, WWE analyst Peter Rosenberg took to X/Twitter to send a message. Rosenberg wrote that he believed there was no one more beloved than Truth in the Stamford-based promotion.

Peter also mentioned that the 53-year-old was a first-ballot Hall of Famer in his opinion.

"Didnt want to post before speaking with the man himself.; simply put -- there is NO ONE more beloved backstage than @RonKillings ..a wrestling show and locker room without Truth is a worse show and locker room. He is a first ballot hall of famer and one of the best to ever do it."
