The fans wanted R-Truth and they got him at Money in the Bank!

R-Truth made his shocking return to WWE less than a week after announcing that he would be departing the company.

The crowd inside the Intuit Dome had been chanting, "We want Truth" at different moments throughout the night and he showed up during the main event to screw over his 'childhood hero' John Cena.

The WWE Champion appeared to be closing in on a victory for Logan Paul and himself after he clocked Cody Rhodes with the WWE title belt, but then Truth appeared from the crowd and took Cena down with a spear.

Truth then struck Cena with the WWE Title belt, which opened the door for Rhodes to pick up the win for himself and Jey Uso with a Cross Rhodes.

Michael Cole made mention of R-Truth's contract situation on commentary shortly after his appearance. It certainly appears as though WWE has turned a shoot into a work with this one. There's been no official word that he's re-signed, but the company is already advertising new merchandise.

Interestingly enough, Truth is being advertised under his birth name of Ron Killings. We'll provide more information on Killings and his contract status with WWE as it becomes available.
