Why Is R-Truth Leaving WWE?

by

Fans of the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) were taken aback when reports emerged that popular figures R-Truth and Carlito were parting ways with the company. At first, it seemed like a prank, perhaps due to R-Truth’s knack for comedic in-ring performances. However, the circumstances are not as humorous as they may appear. Here’s why.

Real reason why R-Truth is leaving WWE

On June 1st, R-Truth revealed that he had parted ways with WWE, leading to speculation among fans who initially thought it might be a joke. However, as multiple sources later verified, this departure was indeed genuine and not one of his usual playful stunts, particularly given that he has been known for such pranks, especially on April Fool’s Day.

Based on reports by wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer, the releases of R-Truth and Carlito appear to be due to WWE’s ongoing roster adjustments. In an effort to introduce fresh talent from NXT into the main roster, WWE has chosen not to renew the contracts of some veteran or underutilized performers. R-Truth is among those affected by this decision.

Though both wrestlers were popular figures, their advanced ages and limited roles seemed to influence WWE’s decision. Despite R-Truth’s recent high-profile matches with John Cena, and Carlito being a key member of The Judgment Day, the company opted to focus on fresher talent. As R-Truth expressed on social media about his departure from WWE, “I have just been released by WWE. I would like to thank WWE for the journey, but what I appreciate most is each and every one of you who joined me on this ride.

As the year unfolds, it’s looking more and more likely that I, R-Truth, and my fellow superstar, Carlito, will reappear on the independent circuit. The buzz is that while I might be moving on from WWE, the clamor for my skills in the indie scene is certainly going to be strong. My popularity and years of experience make me a precious asset for any promotion. Whether I choose to step back into the ring or venture into new territories, my time with WWE will forever be etched in its history. It’s a significant part of the company’s legacy that will always be remembered.
