The Wrestling World Reacts To R-Truth's Shocking Return At WWE Money In The Bank 2025

R-Truth was told last weekend by WWE officials that the company would not be renewing his contract. Truth took to social media to reveal the news and messages of support from peers, colleagues, and fans started to pour in.
The support messages turned to fan chants at WWE shows all week long with "We Want Truth" chants in the crowds for WWE Raw, NXT, and Smackdown this week. Saturday night at the WWE Money in the Bank PLE in Los Angeles, Truth returned to the company in a very big way.
During the main event tag team match that saw Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso defeat John Cena and Logan Paul, Truth returned and clocked Cena with the championship belt to help Rhodes and Uso win the match.
After his return, social media exploded in response to Truth's return to the company.
