Ron Killings aka R-Truth issues response to criticism of his hair-cutting segment from WWE RAW

As seen during the June 9th 2025 edition of WWE RAW, R-Truth cut his hair and transitioned into Ron Killings. While speaking on Busted Open Radio, WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray criticized the segment…

“When he got away from ‘Truth’ and became Ron Killings, then went back to saying ‘the whole truth and nothing but the truth,’ I didn’t want to hear that last night. Once you cut your hair off, I never wanted to hear the name ‘Truth’ again. Don’t remind me of what you were trying to get away from. You cut your hair in front of the world because that hair represented ‘Truth.’ I don’t want to hear it anymore. You’re Ron Killings. End of story. Forget the taglines about the truth. No more bringing it up.”

Killings later appeared on the show and issued a response…

“Who the f*** is he talking to? Who’s he to tell me who I am? I know who I am. I’m protecting him. Everyone has someone trying to tell them who the f*** they are. I know who I am. I’m not the nice one. I’m driving now. Don’t let anybody tell you who you are—you know you better than anybody…..They better put some respect on my f****** name, because I am the Truth. So help me. How you gonna tell me why I cut my hair? I do what I want to do. This ain’t the nice version of me anymore. But I’m not angry—I just won’t be taken advantage of no more. Things are going to change. I’m driving now.” (quotes courtesy of WrestlingNews.co)
