There appears to be backstage sensitivity surrounding R-Truth’s WWE status, as a new report indicates that WWE did not want talent wearing R-Truth merchandise during the June 2, 2025 episode of Monday Night Raw.
According to WrestleVotes, despite previous instances where WWE talent wore shirts & rash guards in support of departing or injured stars, the company took a different approach with R-Truth.
“Yeah, we’ve seen it in the past. Guys get hurt, people move on, you see one of their shirts snuck in,” WrestleVotes noted, referencing Dominik Mysterio wearing a Carlito shirt on the same show. “But supposedly they didn’t want any R-Truth shirts being worn by talent last night.”
Although no official on-air tribute was made, fans in attendance chanted “We Want Truth” loudly during the broadcast, showing support for the longtime fan-favorite.
As previously reported, R-Truth’s WWE contract is set to expire in mid-2025, alongside that of Carlito. R-Truth recently announced his departure from WWE, though further details have yet to be formally addressed by the company.
