R-Truth No Longer With WWE
One of the most entertaining acts on the whole roster, Truth made a name for himself in the company thanks to his hilarious antics that made the fans laugh and those involved break character. Finding championship success, Truth captured the United States and Tag Team Championships during his second run in the company. Additionally, Truth held the 24/7 Championship a record 54 times and became the wrestler most famous with the title that was mainly used for comedic purposes.
