India, June 2 -- The WWE released veteran wrestler R-Truth, 17 years after he joined the company and went on to establish himself as a fan favourite.

R-TRUTH made the announcement through a post on the social media platform X.

"I'm sorry to inform you all. I just got released from WWE," he said Sunday. "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 by R-Truth read.

R-Truth's release by the WWE happened as his contract with the company was due to expire and would not be renewed beyond that point. But he has nevertheless carved out a decent net worth for himself. ...
