8 New Directions For WWE After Money In The Bank 2025
1. Ron Killings Gets Serious
Not many called R-Truth bursting back onto the WWE scene so soon after being released from his contract just last week. Fan backlash on Triple H's decision was so severe that 'The Game' and other members of management decided to bring Truth back at Money In The Bank. There, he attacked John Cena and cost his old hero the win in an otherwise-average main event tag.
Let’s get one thing straight right now: R-Truth/Ron Killings can’t be a goofy, fun-loving comedy character after showing back up in WWE to cost Cena. He showed flashes of a more serious personality whilst feuding with John pre-SNME and pre-release, so Killings must double down on that during this unexpected renaissance. It’s imperative that he ditches the “Little Jimmy” stuff, gets his head screwed on and is focused by the hatred volleyed back at him by someone he previously idolised.
Comedy will not work on this occasion.
A serious, threatening and reckless Ron Killings trying to end Cena's retirement run early could be a good ride. No rapping, no dancing, no shouts of "What's Up?!" and no delusional behaviour. Just straight ahead 'out for blood' actions and simple, strait-laced promos centred around a newfound disgust at John. That's the way Truth needs to be for the rest of the summer if he's sticking around for more than just a couple of appearances here or there.
WWE has another Saturday Night's Main Event special lined up to buffer Night Of Champions and SummerSlam on 12 July. A 'Street Fight' (or something of that ilk) between Cena and Killings sounds pretty logical for that show.
