R-Truth has had a consistent presence on WWE programming for years now, but it seems that his run with the company is coming to an end soon. On Sunday, R-Truth posted a tweet announcing that he had been released from WWE, and it was later reported that the company decided not to renew his contract.
Throughout his time with the company R-Truth managed to win multiple championships. At WrestleMania 40, R-Truth and The Miz capture championship gold when they managed to win the Raw Tag Team Titles in a six pack tag team ladder match.
Collectively The Miz and R-Truth were known as the Awesome Truth, and Miz recently reflected on their run as a tag team when he posted the following on Instagram:
“Forming Awesome Truth with you was one of the most special runs of my career. We created chaos, made magic, and had some of the most fun I’ve ever had inside a WWE ring. No one ever made me laugh harder than you did. You had this insane ability to make me break in front of thousands of people, and I loved every second of it.
You brought joy everywhere you went. Your energy, your heart, your smile…it’s all contagious.
You’re not just one of a kind…you’re one in a lifetime. Whatever’s next, I know you’ll shine like only you can.
Love you, Truth.”
