R-Truth, Carlito Exit Amid WWE Roster Reshuffle

WWE veteran Ron 'R-Truth' Killings has departed the company after 17 years, following a mutual decision not to renew his contract, which has surprised fans and colleagues. The move, alongside Carlito's exit, is part of a broader roster reshuffle under WWE's new leadership, which is prioritizing younger NXT talent at the expense of established stars. Prominent WWE figures such as Kevin Owens, The Miz, and Natalya have publicly paid tribute to R-Truth, while backstage reactions have criticized the decision as 'ruthless' and sparked concerns about morale. R-Truth is celebrated for his comedic charisma, record 24/7 Championship reigns, and as a mentor to younger wrestlers like Joaquin Wilde. Speculation continues about his future, with possibilities including joining AEW or returning to WWE in a backstage capacity. The departures mark the end of an era and represent a notable shift in locker room sentiment.
