Fan-favorite WWE superstar R-Truth returned to the company during the main event of Saturday’s Money in the Bank pay-per-view event in Inglewood, California.
Truth — who will now go by his real name, Ron Killings — rushed into the ring wearing all black and a mask to prevent Undisputed Champion John Cena and Logan Paul from defeating World Heavyweight Champion Jey Uso and Cody Rhodes in a tag-team match. When Killings revealed his face, he immediately received a massive standing ovation from the crowd.
Following the show's ending, WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H, or Paul Levesque, told reporters the decision to bring back Killings was “all part of the show.” However, Ron Killings' son disagrees.
“Stop the ,” Christopher Killings wrote on his Instagram story Saturday.

Christopher Killings' statement refers to what is believed to be a last-second decision made by the WWE, which released Ron Killings on June 1. According to Fightful reporter Sean Ross Sapp , the decision to re-sign him was made within 72 hours by WWE’s President Nick Khan after fans chanted “We want Truth” throughout the week.

Ron Killings also claimed the initial release was not fake, and his son backed up that statement.
“Congrats on the new deal, dad ,” Christopher Killings shared in another post. “Last run .”
