Ron Killings shocked the wrestling world with his surprise return at the recent Money in the Bank Premium Live Event, just one week after reports surfaced that he had been released from WWE. The unexpected move stirred major backstage frustration, but those tensions seem to have cooled.
During a Q&A session on Fightful Select, Sean Ross Sapp provided an update on how talent currently feels about Killings’ return and the company’s handling of the situation—especially after Triple H claimed post-show that Killings’ departure and return were “all part of the show.”
“It’s subsided significantly. But when Triple H made those comments—like ‘all part of the show’—especially about somebody who was as beloved as Truth… a lot of talent had strong emotions about his departure. That didn’t sit well with a lot of people,” Sapp said.
Sapp went on to explain that while the initial flood of wrestlers venting their frustration to him has dwindled, the way WWE handled the situation still left a sour taste in the mouths of some backstage.
“The flood of people coming to me saying, ‘This is BS’—that’s subsided pretty heavily. And you know, Truth—Ron Killings—he took the picture with Triple H to kind of show everybody, ‘Hey, I’m back. It’s all good,’ that type of thing. But yeah, it was definitely a situation that most of the talent weren’t exactly keen on at first.”
It appears that Killings’ public photo with Triple H smoothed things over, at least outwardly, but behind the curtain, the situation was far from universally embraced when it first broke.
