WWE Superstar Ron Killings Says He's 'Saving The Wrestling Business' From John Cena
"He broke R-Truth’s heart, and he’s not the Cena that you think he is," he said.
WWE veteran Ron Killings—known worldwide as R‑Truth—has a new crusade aimed straight at John Cena.
On The Wrestling Classic podcast, where he stopped by on Monday, July 21, Killings said his Money in the Bank interference marked the rebirth of a darker persona determined to “save professional wrestling” and to shield the fun‑loving R‑Truth from Cena’s manipulation.
The viral “We Want Truth” chant may have sparked the comeback, but he insists the mission runs deeper: “You kick my dog, I’m gonna kick your cat—Ron Killings is not forgiving.”
Killings frames Cena—his childhood idol and, in his words, “one of the GOATs”—as the business’s current problem. He recalls wrestling the 16‑time champion on Saturday Night’s Main Event just before his previous contract expired, calling that brush with legend “the universe having its way.”
“I’m not only saving wrestling, professional wrestling as a whole, the business, I’m saving R-Truth, who you guys fell in love with,” he said.
Now, convinced Cena broke Truth’s heart, the 52‑year‑old intends to expose what he sees as the champ’s true colors.
Still, Killings marveled at the chance to work with his childhood hero, even if things didn't go the way he planned. “Just to be involved with the GOAT, for my childhood hero, man, bro, it’s one of those things you only like to hear about or read about. But I got the chance to experience it, live it,” he said.
The reinvention extends beyond WWE. Off‑camera, Killings is rolling out The White Album, a full‑length country project launched with a July 10 Nashville showcase and an upcoming August 15 release party at Kowloon Restaurant in Saugus, Massachusetts.
Tickets cost $100 for VIP and $50 for general admission. He also visited the Country Music Association headquarters, vowing to use his WWE spotlight to boost the genre’s reach.
