Top 5 WWE Returns of 2025

#4. R-Truth Returns At Money In The Bank 2025

On June 1, 2025, R Truth, one of the most entertaining and beloved wrestling figures of all time, was released from WWE. This announcement came a week after Truth had a high-profile match with his childhood hero, John Cena.

The WWE Universe was clearly upset and taken aback by TKO’s decision to release such an important figure of the wrestling family. A massive campaign broke out on social media with the hashtag “#WeWantTruth.” Over the next few shows, live crowds also voiced their displeasure over Ron Killings’ release and demanded his return.

In a surprising but welcome twist, Truth made his return in the main event of Money in the Bank 2025, i.e, John Cena and Logan Paul vs. Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso. A hooded figure jumped and attacked Cena in the closing moments of the match. The assailant took his hood off, and the crowd exploded as they saw Truth in a WWE ring once again.

WWE could have done more with Truth as he returned with a new wave of momentum. This arc had plenty of potential, but it was evident that the company had no long-term plans.
