In a recent statement, R-Truth discussed his departure from the WWE, explaining if it was a real exit or a plot element. The veteran superstar earlier this month announced that his contract had expired and he was quitting the business, eliciting a flood of backing from followers and other wrestlers. But a week later, at the conclusion of the Money in the Bank event, he made a stunning comeback, leaving everyone perplexed as to what had transpired.

Whether or not his departure was planned is shown in R-Truth

At Money in the Bank, R-Truth surprised supporters by assaulting his previous foe John Cena during his tag bout with Logan Paul against Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso. After his WWE departure and re-signing, his unexpected action sparked debate as to whether it was genuine or a plot.

After the game, a fan posted R-Truth's video on social media, noting that everyone was "worked" up when he left. In response to the article, the R-Truth stated, "No work," confirming to ITRWrestling that he was really let go from the business earlier this month.

Those inside WWE, according to Fightful's Sean Ross Sapp, thought R-Truth's departure was genuine and not part of a plot. According to reports, a new agreement could have been reached only days before his surprising comeback at Money in the Bank..

R-departure Truth was staged, according to Triple H

Contrary to what Truth himself and a few sources have asserted, Triple H maintains that his departure was planned. When WWE Chief Content Officer was questioned during the post-Money in the Bank 2025 press conference about whether R-truth's departure was real or if it was merely a piece of a larger narrative, he responded by asking if it was. He suggested that the entire scenario may have been orchestrated from the beginning. "Enjoying the show? Whole part of the show," he added.

The WWE audience is now focused on what will happen next for the seasoned WWE great after R-Truth's unexpected comeback.
