WWE’s decision to release R-Truth has been one of the most surprising in the company’s history, given how beloved he is and the fact that he was seen as a WWE lifer. While he might be slowing down and coming toward the end of his career, that doesn’t mean that there’s no possibility of him returning down the line, as the door is often open for people like R-Truth.

WWE Fans Disrupt Raw In Support Of Recently Released R-Truth
WWE fans began chanting for R-Truth during Monday Night Raw, making it clear they were displeased by the news of his departure. Will it matter?
WWE always needs reliable hands like R-Truth who can fill various gaps, and that’s why there are several roles he could take up if he was ever re-hired by the TKO Group. That’s something that fans would love to see and is ultimately what his career deserves.
WWE NXT Trainer
R-Truth Has Plenty Of Knowledge To Pass Down To Younger Talent
- R-Truth would be able to teach in-ring and promo classes
- He could help the next generation of comedy wrestlers
- He would be able to pop-in for random WWE NXT matches
One reason WWE opted not to renew R-Truth’s deal was his age. The WWE veteran is coming toward the end of his in-ring career. Even though he’s still in great shape, there’s only so much longer he can compete at the highest level with younger talent, but that doesn’t mean he has nothing to offer.
R-Truth is vastly experienced and has tons of knowledge to offer to younger wrestlers, which is why he’d make an ideal career at the WWE Performance Center. Given his loyalty to the company, he seems like a perfect option for that role, as he knows better than most people how WWE operates both in and out of the ring.
He’s one of the most charismatic wrestlers of all time, and that’s something that would benefit WWE in terms of teaching promo classes. This is often an area where younger wrestlers struggle in WWE, with this being something R-Truth could make a big impact on.

The WWE Hall of Fame is reserved for WWE’s greatest stars, and R-Truth certainly fits into that category. The company always puts in wrestlers who have contributed in different ways beyond just the main event scene, and there’s no doubt that R-Truth has made a big enough impact to slot into that role.

Winning many titles helps wrestlers cement their legacies. Here are the WWE Hall of Famers with the most championships reigns in the company.
He’s comfortably the funniest wrestler in WWE’s history, all while being able to hold his own inside the ring. He’s had a career littered with titles and memorable moments, and that’s why he will end up in the Hall of Fame at some stage in the future.
This would likely lead to other opportunities for him moving forward, as most Hall of Famers end up being brought back for various roles. R-Truth would work as a great ambassador for WWE after this honor, but getting the induction is something he absolutely has earned.
A Royal Rumble Surprise
He’s Guaranteed To Get A Huge Pop From WWE Fans
- He would be a popular option as a surprise participant
- R-Truth has been in nine Royal Rumble matches
- He’s had several memorable moments, such as working with Bubba Ray Dudley or thinking it was the MITB ladder match
The Royal Rumble match is notorious for surprise entrants, and they’re always one of the most exciting parts of the night. In recent years, WWE has become too reliant on WWE NXT stars appearing, which don’t always have the same level of impact in terms of reaction.
That’s where R-Truth could come in. Seeing him return to WWE for a one-off appearance would be a popular decision and will undoubtedly get a massive reaction from the WWE Universe.
His WWE entrance would prove to be popular among fans, with R-Truth running down to the ring with fans singing along with every word. It would be a huge spectacle, and he wouldn’t even need to appear for long inside the ring to make it memorable.

The best way that WWE could bring R-Truth back would be to simply have him randomly pop up backstage, acting like he’s never been gone the entire time. It’s the most fitting way for him to return because it would be precisely what the character would do, leading to a hilarious reaction.

R-Truth isn’t someone who will be used at the top of the card at this stage in his career, so bringing him back in a comedic manner would set the tone for what people would expect him to deliver. It would be an easy way of achieving it without causing too much of a scene, all while keeping in line with his gimmick.
R-Truth saying he’s been on vacation or hanging out in catering after months of not being there would set up great jokes every time he bumped into someone he hadn’t seen for months.
