R-Truth Reinvents Himself as Ron Killings
Appearing unannounced, R-Truth gave a heartfelt promo on the commentary table, cut off his hair, and declared a new chapter as Ron Killings.
He spoke with emotion, making it clear that he’s no longer just here to entertain, but to be taken seriously.
“Now, we all love R-Truth. I love R-Truth too. But R-Truth can be too funny all the time. R-Truth can be too nice, and he's too forgiving. Not me. I wish you would. I feel different. I feel alive. And for any of you that thinks I'm a lie, you think I'm some side show, you think I'm a gimmick...”
"The truth has set me free. I am Ron Killings! I am the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth! Now put some respect on my name!"
