Multi-time Former WWE World Champion could be let go by WWE after R-Truth and Carlito

Booker T’s Perspective on R-Truth’s Release

R-Truth getting released from WWE? Nobody saw that one coming. After nearly two decades of nonstop entertainment, the man who made the 24/7 Title actually watchable is gone. And even the legends are a little stunned.

However, his contract not being renewed wasn’t the only surprising thing to happen this week, as another veteran, Carlito, was also let go by the company.

Booker T, WWE Hall of Famer and one of the most respected voices in the business today, didn’t sugarcoat it. Speaking with the kind of honesty only a real vet can offer, the multi-time World Champion said on his podcast Hall of Fame:

“It is what it is, and like I say, everybody’s time comes…”

Translation? No one is untouchable—not even someone like Truth, who just went toe-to-toe with John Cena not too long ago. Even Booker knows the business can flip on you overnight. One day you’re trending on RAW, the next you’re trending for a farewell tweet.

Booker T believes he could be let go by the WWE

If there’s one thing you learn in pro wrestling, it’s this—nothing lasts forever. One day you’re in a WrestleMania segment, the next you’re off the roster. Releases, returns, shock appearances—it’s all part of the machine.

The current NXT commentator understands that better than most. And his comments weren’t just about Truth—they were a subtle nod to the cold, hard truth of the business:

“Trust me. Trust me. I’m waiting (he laughed). My time is gonna come. It’s either I’m gonna walk away or they’re gonna tell you it’s time to walk away sooner or later. Am I right or wrong?… So I’m just a realist, man. Just a realist.”

The wrestling world moves fast. You either evolve or evaporate. And for all his comedic genius, R-Truth lasted far longer than most in a system that chews people up and spits them out.

R-Truth’s Legacy in WWE

Ronnie Killings didn’t just survive in WWE—he thrived. From dancing his way to the ring with Road Dogg as K-Kwik to becoming the king of chaos with the 24/7 Championship, R-Truth has done it all. And let’s be real—nobody made the 24/7 title must-see TV like he did. Fifty-four reigns. Fifty-four. That’s not a gimmick, that’s legacy.

Booker T kept it 100 when talking about Truth’s future:

“R-Truth is a guy that still got a lot left in the tank… A lot of endeavors…”

Book knows a survivor when he sees one. Truth isn’t just a wrestler—he’s a brand, a performer, a guy who can pop a crowd with a mic in hand and still throw down when the bell rings.

Conclusion

R-Truth’s departure isn’t just another release—it’s the end of an era. The man was a constant in a company built on change. For nearly 20 years, he brought laughs, moments, and memories that stuck.

Booker T said it best—R-Truth still has gas left in the tank. This isn’t the end. It’s just the end of one chapter. Whether it’s another wrestling promotion, a media gig, or something completely unexpected, don’t count Truth out.

He’s been overlooked before, and every time, he came back louder, funnier, and more entertaining than ever. Don’t be surprised when he does it again.
