During a recent edition of the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry discussed R-Truth’s shocking return at WWE Money In The Bank 2025.
Earlier this week on WWE RAW, the 53-year-old Superstar cut off his braids and declared that he will now go by his real name, Ron Killings.
Regarding Killings ditching his R-Truth gimmick, Henry said,
“I gotta start with what I thought was probably the most awe-inspiring, as well as the thing that was the most at question before we started tonight, and that is Ron Killings. But we didn’t just see R-Truth, we saw the guy that came with him, the guy that he was that guy before he was R-Truth, and that’s Ron Killings. I don’t think that Truth ever thought that he might be able to thank the people for how much they’ve given him, and he did tonight, and I commend him for being able to come out there. The one thing that was a little bit serious is, people don’t mess with their hair. He made light of it, but tonight he came out, he reached down and pulled a pair of scissors out of his boot, and cut the locks. That’s a heavy statement. I know what that feels like. There was a time in 2010 where a lot of people remember me with the twist and the braids, and I woke up one day and just said, ‘No more. I’m done with this. I’m tired of it,’ and that October, I cut it. To see him do that on live TV makes me a little bit jealous. I feel like, ‘Hell, I should have waited and cut mine on TV.’”
