Ron Killings Says He Cried After WWE Release, ‘I Cried For The Love’

On June 1st, Ron Killings (R-Truth) announced that he was being released by WWE. In the week that followed, fans chanted “We want Truth” on WWE Raw, WWE NXT, and WWE SmackDown.

Killings was brought back less than a week later, making a surprise return at WWE Money in the Bank.

Speaking on Ringer Wrestling, Killings gave more insight into how he felt once he learned his WWE run was over.

“It was my lowest. I was crying. I cried. I cried for the love,” he said

Asked how he felt seeing all the support from wrestlers and fans, Killings replied, “Unity. We’re talking about the world. Different countries. I got DMs, emails, tweets from different people. All different races, nationalities, walks of life. I cried just for the sake of humanity. Over me? We all agreed on one thing. ‘This is wrong.’ That was the most powerful thing I ever had in my life happen to me. For me, any adversity I went through, to be where I’m at. I stuck it out. I made lemonade out of chicken shit. Really, when we don’t know, the world is watching us. There were people who don’t wrestle across all social media, over 100 million. People that have been part of my legacy, I’m part of their legacy. People that grew up with me. When I meet fans and they’re like, ‘You remind me of my grandma, my grandpa, my dad, my brother, my sister, my aunt, my uncle.’ There are so many things tied into me with people. It was the most moving thing God has ever shown and given me.”

Ron Killings has been part of WWE SmackDown since making his return to WWE.
