Triple H: R-Truth Immediately Went Out On Social Media And Said He Was Fired, Which He Was Never Fired

Triple H clarifies R-Truth’s status during his contract talks with WWE last year.

In mid 2025, WWE fans were shocked to hear from R-Truth that he had been released by the company. However, in later reports, it would be clarified that Truth had been alerted that WWE were not planning to re-sign him upon his contract expiring, leading to a large fan campaign to get Truth back with the company.

While speaking in a WWE: Unreal Season 2 Sneak Peek, Triple H discussed the situation involving R-Truth, clarifying that Truth had never not been with the company during the discussions.

“We got to a point in Truth’s run where his contract was coming up. When you are dealing with contracts and money and you’re very far apart in the numbers and communication breaks down, it’s very easy for both sides to read into the communications differently. ‘Okay, well, if you’re not going to come to us, then… Your contract is at the end. We’re not going to renew,’ Knowing that hopefully maybe this will force his hand to say, well, hold on a second. Can we talk? He immediately went out on social and said he was fired, which he was never fired. Contrary to prior belief, he was never not under contract with us.”

Truth would later re-sign with the company, returning to WWE at Money In The Bank 2025 to attack John Cena. You can read more about that here.

WWE Unreal: Season 2 is set to be released on January 20th on Netflix.
