On Sunday, R-Truth revealed that he had been released from WWE. It has been confirmed that the company chose not to renew his contract.
R-Truth had two separate stints with WWE, with his second beginning in 2008. During that run, he achieved notable success as part of the tag team Awesome Truth with The Miz. The duo headlined WWE Survivor Series 2011 in a match against The Rock and John Cena, and later captured the WWE World Tag Team Championships at WrestleMania 40.
Taking to Twitter, The Miz wrote, “Forming Awesome Truth with you was one of the best runs of my career. No one made me laugh harder. Your energy, heart, and smile lit up every room…and every arena. You’re not one of a kind, you’re one in a lifetime. Love you, Truth. Keep shining.”

Earlier this year, Zelina Vega debuted a new entrance theme produced by Def Rebel. Like many of the group’s other tracks, it received mixed reactions from fans.
However, during a recent appearance on the “Ring The Belle with DS Shin” podcast, Vega shared that she genuinely loves her new theme — regardless of the criticism from some fans. She said,
“You guys. I love my song. I know that you guys are like, oh my God, she’s just saying that. Oh my God. No, for real. I really do. And here’s why. I said to the person who does the music, I said, listen, I want Nicki Minaj, Megan Thee Stallion, and XG complete in a circle.”
