Killings, known by his stage name R-Truth since 2008, began his wrestling journey at the turn of the century.

He became a huge fan favorite in the WWE after joining from Total Nonstop Action, headlining multiple PPV events in the 2010s.

But fans were devastated after the Charlotte native revealed he had been let go in “devastating” cuts.

“I’m sorry to inform you all. I just got released from WWE,” Killings wrote on X.

“I want to thank WWE for the ride, but MOSTLY I want to thank each and EVERYONE OF YOU who was along for the ride.

“Thank you for all the love, support, and appreciation you have given me over the years. Thank you.”

The post was quickly viewed almost 18 million times.

Devastated wrestling fans called for the decision to be reversed, with current WWE stars also weighing in.

“I hate this so much,” replied ex-WWE Diva Naomi.

“In all seriousness, this is literally so heartbreaking… Thank you Truth,” added Rhea Ripley.

“You’re an amazing talent and an even better person. Go enjoy your life unc!” added AEW star Ricochet.

“Thank you R-Truth. Your character can never be imitated,” said wrestling legend CM Punk.

“Embarrassing how they treat a legend,” raged one fan.

“This is the worse news I’ve ever heard. Hopefully they are bringing you back to take over for Triple H,” added a second.
