R-Truth recalls son’s reaction to massive fan support for WWE return
R-Truth is regarded as one of the most entertaining performers in WWE. Over the years, his unique comedic style has created memorable television moments making even the most serious and WWE talents struggle to maintain a straight face during their segments.
In an interview with WittyWhittier, Truth explained he has no intention to purposely make WWE stars break character, it simply happens naturally.
“Yeah, that’s not an object of mine. I just be, I just do me. I never try to break them and I don’t believe there’s anyone that’s unbreakable.”
Truth expressed gratitude for the fans who supported him and rallied behind his WWE return in 2025. He recalled an emotional moment with his son whose reaction put the experience into perspective.
“You can find no dictionary that could come up with the words that could express how that feels, and it goes back to your question when you said there are people that may be coming to these shows in Ottawa and London that have never been to a show, and that’s a good example of what you get to experience. It’s the loyalty, it’s the love, it’s the commitment. It’s the, that many, over 100 million people reacting, agreeing on one thing, coming together, just ‘we riot’. It was, it was just so overwhelming, man, and it was like, I’ve never felt love like that before in my life.”
“I’m 54 years old, man, and I always sum it up with one thing my son said to me in the back, when everything happened, and we looked and he saw all the numbers, man. He’s like, ‘Dad, it was worth it.’ Just those words, man, it’s like, I’ve missed so many graduations, birthdays, anniversaries, deaths in my family, I’ve missed so much, but I’ve dedicated so much. That type of outpour, man, just the abundance of love that I was shown, man, would never, ever go unnoticed by me, and it’s just, when you say the people’s champ, that gave me that title right there and there, and I love the people for that.”
Damian Priest and Truth won the WWE Tag Team Champions in March. For the past month, Truth has not been medically cleared to compete due to an undisclosed injury. However, he is still a prominent part of the storyline with Priest and The MFTs.
