"So I know there's a lot of people out there right now that are shocked, outpouring support as far as coming out for R-Truth just because R-Truth has been that soldier man," the veteran said. [H/T WrestlingInc]
R-Truth's WWE legacy
Truth didn't do much of note during his first WWE run, before he made it big in TNA Wrestling. His second stint from 2008 to 2025 turned him into a beloved star and one of the funniest superstars in the history of the promotion.
His storylines involving the 24/7 Championship back in 2019 gave fans some of the most hilarious moments on TV, most notably when Truth pinned Drake Maverick for the title at his wedding.
Truth is a surefire future Hall of Famer. Many of his fans still believe he's bound to come back to the company in a non-wrestling role in the future. Others are convinced Truth will head over to Tony Khan's All Elite Wrestling and have a brief stint in the promotion.
Only time will tell what Truth has planned in terms of wrestling, now that he's no longer with World Wrestling Entertainment.
