After 17 years of working for the WWE, veteran wrestler R-Truth was let go, during which time he became a fan favorite.

The announcement was made via a post on the social media site X by R-TRUTH.

I'm sorry to let you all know. Sunday, he stated, "I was recently let go by WWE. I wish to express my gratitude to WWE for the trip, but MOSTLY I want to thank each and EVERYONE OF YOU who was along for the ride. I appreciate the love, support, and appreciation you have shown me throughout the years. The message from R-Truth said, "Thank you."

The WWE let R-Truth go when his contract with the business was set to expire and would not be extended beyond that date. However, he has still managed to establish a respectable net worth for himself. A bird's-eye view of R-truth's net worth and contract specifics is presented below:

The specifics of R-Truth's contract and net worth

According to a study by Sportskeeda, Ronnie Aaron Killings, who goes by his ring name R-Truth, is said to have an amazing net worth of about $3 million. WWE stores, 2K Games, and WWE merchandise sales were the main sources of support for R-Truth in the industry.

The apparel company Cult of Individuality gave him their approval, and he was also featured on the cover of Your Voice hip hop magazine. Reports indicate that R-Truth's yearly pay under his WWE deal was $550,000.

R-Truth's second run with the WWE, which began in 2008, comes to a conclusion with his release. From 1999 to 2001, he spent two years in the WWE, but from 2002 to 2007, when he was with TNA Wrestling, he became a well-known personality.

R-Truth's 17-year career was memorable, even if he never held the WWE Championship. He became well-known for being one of the funniest wrestlers in the industry, even though he initially engaged with fans by rapping his entrance music with the "what's up?" cheer. He often made other actors break character on air and regularly brought laughter to segments.

On May 24, the 53-year-old battled John Cena in the Main Event on Saturday Night. In what would be his final WWE bout, Cena triumphed over R-Truth, as he announced his retirement after the contest.
