The biggest shocker of this year’s Money in the Bank event? R-Truth’s unexpected return. After reports surfaced that WWE had released him, supposedly due to his hefty paycheck, fans were left wondering if they’d ever see him in the ring again.
No official statement was given, so the whole situation felt like a mystery. But then, out of nowhere, Truth made his comeback during the main event, and he didn’t just show up; he attacked John Cena, completely wrecking Cena’s chances of winning the match.
This sudden return of R-Truth has confused fans as to whether this was planned all along or has Triple H succumbed to the fan pressure and been compelled to bring the WWE veteran back.
Was R-Truth’s return planned or just because of fan pressure?
John Cena and Logan Paul faced off against Jey Uso and Cody Rhodes in the main event of this year’s Money in the Bank, and it was an action-packed showdown. Both teams had their moments, showing off incredible wrestling skills and keeping the crowd on edge.
But the biggest shock of the night came when a mystery masked man suddenly attacked Cena. As the crowd watched in suspense, the attacker pulled off the mask, it was R-Truth. The arena erupted in cheers as fans witnessed his unexpected return.
Now, everyone’s wondering, was this comeback planned all along, or did Triple H bring Truth back to calm the backlash? WWE faced huge criticism after releasing Truth, with his farewell post racking up 22 million views and thousands of comments.
Maybe the fan outrage forced WWE’s hand, or maybe this was all part of a bigger storyline to make his return even more special. Either way, it will be interesting to see if R-Truth will continue to trouble John Cena during his farewell tour, or was it just a one-time thing?
Is R-Truth going to get a new contract from Triple H?
WWE never officially revealed why R-Truth was let go, but a lot of fans believe it was because of his big paycheck. Truth has been part of WWE for years, playing a major role in the company, so it’s no surprise that his contract came with a massive paycheck.
But things are shifting in WWE, and Triple H seems to be taking a step back on spending when it comes to veteran stars. Instead of investing heavily in veteran superstars, WWE might be looking to release or renegotiate contracts to make space for fresher talent.
That could be the real reason behind all the drama around Truth’s release. One thing’s clear: R-Truth isn’t leaving WWE for good. He’ll probably get a new contract with a lower paycheck, and while he might not appear as often, he’s not disappearing completely. The same could happen to Roman Reigns, who might also have to sign a new deal with a smaller paycheck to keep up with WWE’s changing approach.
WWE Money in the Bank 2025 is available to stream on Peacock in the United States, and on Netflix everywhere else.
