Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful is reporting through his Select
service that it took WWE President Nick Khan to negotiate
with Ron “R-Truth” Killings to bring him back after the 53-
year-old ignored attempts by the company earlier in the
week.
Truth was notified by a talent relations employee rather by
someone with a higher pay grade, and considering he was 17
years in, that felt a little bit disrespectful.
Khan entered the picture when everything else failed to get
in touch with Killings and then the two sides had to do some
compromising on each end to reach a new deal according to
Sapp.
One of the things that Truth wanted was to use his real name
of Ron Killings moving forward and probably the comedy
character is also going away with the name. At his age, this
is Killings’ last probable run anywhere and wants it to be
meaningful after spending almost two decades as a comedy
character.
The whole deal came about within 72 hours of Money In The
Bank and it’s safe to say that everyone backstage was elated
to see him back.
Truth’s dismissal caused an unprecedented outrage from fans
and peers alike and while Triple H said it was “all part of
the show,” it was anything but.
