Exclusive: After R-Truth, is Braun Strowman going to return to WWE on public demand? Expert has this to say

Braun Strowman WWE return: R-Truth, on June 1, announced that the WWE had decided against renewing his contract and looked back on his time with the company. This created a great deal of buzz on social media as several angry netizens took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to express displeasure with the Stamford-based promotion for letting go of the popular veteran. Following this backlash, WWE gave him a new deal. He will now stay with the promotion and perform under his real name Ron Killings

Vince Russo feels, unlike R-Truth, Braun Strowman won¡¯t return to WWE on public demand

The R-Truth situation has sparked speculation of Braun Strowman returning to the WWE. ¡®The Monster Among Men, who too enjoyed the loyalty of the WWE Universe, was released from the company on May 3 alongside several other performers. In an exclusive interaction with India times, veteran writer Vince Russo addressed the possibility.

Braun Strowman, who was let go by the WWE last month, had endeared himself to the audience with his feuds against Bronson Reed and Jacob Fatu. This made his departure a hard pill to swallow for the WWE universe. Many of his ardent fans even hoped that R-Truth being rehired on public demand would open the door for ¡®The Monster Among Men¡¯ to get a third run with the company.

However, writer Vince Russo feels this won¡¯t happen as Strowman was previously released in 2021 as well. He also stated that the powerhouse did not enjoy the type of fan following that Ron Killings does.

¡°That ship has already sailed. And their fan base didn't have the same sentiment towards Strowman that they had towards Truth. Plus, it wasn't the first time they released Braun. No---Strowman IS NOT coming back,¡± he told the website.

Vince Russo has been an inseparable part of the professional wrestling landscape since the 90s. He is best known for his association with the WWE and the now defunct World Championship Wrestling (WCW)

R-Truth made an instant impact on returning to WWE

Coming back to Truth, he returned to WWE programming at Money in the Bank 2025 and nailed John Cena with a spear and the Undisputed Championship to teach him a lesson for humiliating him at Saturday Night¡¯s Main Event. This cost 'The Champ' and Logan Paul their match against Jey Uso and Cody Rhodes. On June 9, he cut a promo in which he thanked fans for helping him regain his job and also vowed to be ¡®himself¡¯ during his new run.
