More Details On Ron Killings’ WWE Return, Note On ‘New’ T-Shirt

UPDATE: A new report has confirmed additional details on Ron Killings’ return to WWE. Fightful Select spoke with a WWE higher-up who provided additional confirmation their initial report of the events as they happened including Nick Khan reaching out to Killings. The report notes that Killings “didn’t seem to entertain calls” when originally approached for a return and that when things opened up when Khan took over, with a reinforcement that the situation wasn’t a work. The report goes on to note that sources said it’s rare that Khan gets involved in contract talks but that this was considered important for WWE and the locker room.

That same higher-up said that they considered Killings’ return as a good sign that the roster and fan response overcame any other issues. The roster is said to be very pleased about him being back with WWE. Talent that have asked WWE and Killings about the situation have been told it was not a work as well.

Another source in WWE management was asked about his name being changed to Ron Killings and while there were no guarantees about booking given, it was said that Killings had previously said he wanted to have at least a somewhat more serious run before his in-ring career ended.

The report finally notes that the T-Shirt that WWE is newly advertising is not a new shirt, and that Killings wore it on TV in February.

ORIGINAL: A new report has lots of details on Ron Killings’ return at WWE Money in the Bank, while Killings and his son have shot down the notion that it was part of a work. As noted, the former R-Truth showed up at Money in the Bank and cost John Cena and Logan Paul their match against Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso. This came after Killings announced that he had been “released” from WWE last Sunday, which was later clarified in reports to be that his contract was not being renewed.

Fightful Select reports that according to sources close to Killings, he does have a new deal. The report notes that a number of wrestling promoters and companies reached out to him in the past week hopeful that they could book him when the expiration date for his contract came. In addition, several talent told Fightful they spoke with Killings and iterated repeatedly that it wasn’t a work. The site was told that there were “many tears” over the matter and that Killings himself seemed “shocked and kind of disgusted,” with one talent noting the impersonal way he was let go.

The report goes on to say that Killings ignored a number of WWE’s approaches over the past week until Nick Khan called him to get a new deal set up, which was a “meeting halfway.”

Triple H was asked about during the post-show event about Killings’ return and replied, “Enjoying the show? All part of the show, man.” Christopher Killings posted to his Instagram, as you can see in a tweet below, in which he shared a clip of Triple H’s response and said “Stop the cap,” aka “Stop the lie.” He also congratulated his father on his “new deal.” One talent who spoke to Fightful pointed to the post and said, “See? You can’t control all of these conversations.”

Meanwhile, Killings posted to Twitter to respond to a comment about how everyone “got worked,” noting, “No work” and added in another post:

“No [cap/lie] #WeWantTruth was seen, heard, felt and understood… Believe me when I say this, I Love EVERYONE of yall to death. We made history together”

Finally, the report notes that everyone is excited about Killings’ return, which was kept quiet for for obvious reasons.
