Jeff Jarrett Weighs In On R-Truth’s WWE Exit: ‘This Is The New WWE’

On the latest episode of My World With Jeff Jarrett, the WWE Hall of Famer talked about the recent news of R-Truth (Ron Killings) departing WWE, stating it’s a clear sign of the new WWE under TKO Group Holdings. You can check out some highlights below:

Jeff Jarrett on the widespread discussion about the WWE exit of R-Truth: “Every call that I had, literally. Calls and texts, everyone that came up, hey, man, you hear about Truth?”

On directly linking this and other potential departures to WWE’s sale: “But at the end of the day, it truly is a result of Vince selling the company. This is the new WWE, and it’s not going back, it’s not going reverse. But the industry as a whole — man, there’s some opportunity. Because the market is going to be, I’ll say this, flooded with talent, with a voice, with the social media following, with the promotional punch and power. It’s exciting. Now, it’s not personally exciting. I love Truth, and I hope we get to continue to talk about him. And I think there’s a full episode on him.”

On it leading to other opportunities for R-Truth: “For several years when he came in the door at TNA. Yes, Truth had some comedy, but I always saw him also — I mean, he was champion. I saw him as a very — when Truth wanted to cut a serious promo? Good God, he could cut a serious, very serious promo. But once I kind of saw the role he settled into, and where Vince saw him at and would have utilized him, there wasn’t ever a segment that he didn’t hit it out of the park.

“And like you just said, he just comes off the Cena situation. I think that more than anything… I think there’s a boatload of opportunity. Personally, I hate to see it for Truth, but I know him. He’s gonna rebound in bigger and broader and bolder ways. Buddy, I think the future is very bright for that man.”
