In a moment that hit fans right in the feels, R-Truth, the king of comedy and chaos in WWE, officially announced his retirement from professional wrestling on 1 June, 2025.
Yes, the man who held the mic and the 24/7 Championship more than anyone else — a record-breaking 54 times — is hanging up his boots after an electrifying and often hilarious 17-year run with WWE.
💥 The End of an Era
R-Truth, real name Ronnie Killings, wasn’t your average WWE superstar. From rapping his own entrance theme to mistaking ladders for briefcases and even thinking he was in the main event when he wasn’t — R-Truth made comedy wrestling gold a thing.
But don't be fooled — behind all the laughs was a two-time NWA World Heavyweight Champion, a title he won outside WWE, making him a trailblazer as the first Black man to do so.
🏆 Achievements? Too Many to Count!

Whether he was battling for the gold or crashing wedding ceremonies mid-match (yes, that actually happened), Truth kept us laughing while still delivering in the ring.
💬 What He Said About Leaving
"I’ve given this business my everything. Now it’s time for me to take a step back and enjoy what I’ve built. I’ll still be around — just not chasing people around backstage anymore!" – R-Truth
Classic R-Truth style: heartfelt, but with a wink.
💡 What’s Next?
R-Truth hinted at working more on his music career, stand-up comedy, and maybe even some movie roles. With his charisma and comic timing, we wouldn’t be surprised to see him light up Hollywood next.
🤔 Final Doop:
WWE without R-Truth will definitely feel different — and a little less fun. But if anyone has earned a happy, hilarious retirement, it’s the man who turned confusion into comedy and made chaos an art form.
So let’s say it one last time:
"WHAT’S UP?!"
…and whisper back: Thank you, Truth. ❤️
