R-Truth is one of the most popular superstars in WWE, and he is known for his hilarious acts. He's currently involved in a storyline on Monday Night RAW for the 24/7 Championship, which he holds the record of for most reigns.

R-Truth has been in WWE for a long time, and he's done a lot of interesting things in the company. His first tenure, however, was quite underwhelming. Speaking on The New Day's Feel The Power podcast, he revealed that he was so frustrated that he almost quit the company during his time in developmental, but WWE Hall of Famer Road Dogg made him change his mind.

"[It] wasn’t nothing paying off, showing, nothing and Road Dogg came to the TV taping and saw me rap, go down," said R-Truth. "I think I wrestled Jerry Lawler that night and when I came back to the locker room, two or three guys were like, ‘Hey man, Road Dogg was asking about you.’ I’m like, ‘Road Dogg with DX?’ They’re like, ‘Yeah.’ I’m like, ‘Okay cool.’ Got in the locker room and we all know Road Dogg."

"Road Dogg came right up to my face, ‘Was that you out there rapping that? Doing that dance and rapping to the ring?’ I was like, ‘Yeah,’" he added. "He said, ‘You wanna be my tag partner?’ I said, ‘What? Wrestle on TV?’ He’s like, ‘Yeah.’ I’m like, ‘Man, I’m about to quit man.’ He said, ‘Quit!?’ I said, ‘Yeah man. Bruh, I don’t think this is for me. I think I bit off more than I can chew.’ He said, ‘I’ll tell you what, I know you’re discouraged, you’ve been going.’ He said, ‘If you give me one month, I’ll have you on TV.’ I’m like, ‘Alright, I’ll give you one month.’"

The former 24/7 Champion made his main roster debut alongside Road Dogg on RAW in 2000, where he wrestled as K-Kwik. A year later, he was released from his contract, and he went on to wrestle for IMPACT before going back to WWE in 2008.
