R-Truth is gone, only Ron Killings is left now!

Fans tuning into WWE RAW this past Monday were left stunned when longtime fan-favorite R-Truth dramatically cut his hair live on the show.

But behind the shocking moment lies a deeper, more personal transformation, one that marks the return of not just a superstar, but of the man behind the comedy: Ron Killings.

The moment unfolded following the return of Bayley during a segment involving Women’s Intercontinental Champion Becky Lynch and Lyra Valkyria.

Instead of the usual fun-loving, eccentric Truth fans are used to, Ron Killings emerged from the crowd dressed entirely in black. Jumping onto the commentary table, he cut a passionate promo that left the WWE Universe in Phoenix both stunned and energized.

Killings began by addressing the crowd directly, telling them their voices had been heard. He credited the WWE Universe for his return, emphasizing that this wasn’t just Truth making a comeback; this was something much deeper.

“Now, we all love R-Truth,” he said. “I love R-Truth too. But R-Truth can be too funny all the time. R-Truth can be too nice and he’s too forgiving. Not me.”

This shift in tone was deliberate. Killings made it clear that he’s no longer willing to be perceived as just a comedic act or a side character.

As the crowd watched in disbelief, he pulled out a pair of scissors and, in three swift cuts, severed his signature locs, a powerful visual representation of leaving the “old” R-Truth behind.

“R-Truth, the Truth has set me free. I am Ron Killings. I am the Truth. The whole Truth and nothing but the Truth. Now put some respect on my name.”

So, what’s the real reason behind Truth cutting his hair? It’s not just a makeover, it’s a message. This was Ron Killings symbolically shedding the image of the lovable goofball and reclaiming his identity as a serious, motivated performer.

By cutting his hair, Killings sent a clear statement: the days of treating him as a joke are over. He’s not just R-Truth anymore. He’s the whole Truth, and he wants the world to know it.
