R-Truth is indeed one of the most famous names in WWE right now, which was shown when he was released from WWE earlier this year, and the fans broke into protests. The majority of the fans were so unhappy with this release that they started protesting during the live shows of WWE, and kept on chanting "We Want Truth."
This movement was so strong that WWE had no other option but to bring R-Truth back. It was a historic moment when the wrestler had to be brought back only after a number of days of his release. It looked like Truth would be playing a heel character upon his return. He attacked John Cena on his return and also acted in an unusual style.
Why WWE dropped the Ron Killings character of R-Truth
He shaved off his head on the night of his retirement, and he also demanded to be called Ron Killings, which is his real name. Everybody expected him to start a rivalry with John Cena, but no such thing happened. Instead, WWE decided to drop the character that they implemented for him on his return.

He returned to his usual R-Truth character soon, and he started making everyone laugh just like always. But why was this character dropped even when it looked something different? Truth was recently asked this question when he attended an interview with CBS Sports. Here is what he had to say;
“It went where it was supposed to. Ron Killings created R-Truth. Those hundreds of millions of fans who spoke and up-roared. They wanted R-Truth back. Ron Killings was the rebellious one who spoke up for R-Truth. Ron Killings has been around for years, but people had never come together in lockstep like that.
The fans created pressure on WWE to bring him back
"They did that for R-Truth. You feel me? I wanted Ron Killings to go where he was supposed to go. He made a statement; he had eyes on him. When John Cena came back, R-Truth came back. Ron Killings was the cavalry.”
“I think [Ron Killings] was a selfish-type deal, more of a selfish move. I had more than 100 million views that wanted R-Truth. If numbers are real, that was the power of numbers.” said the professional wrestling legend.
