• “Tails tucked between their legs” – WWE Roster’s Reaction To R-Truth’s Return
Sean Ross Sapp reported that several WWE Superstars were very outspoken about R-Truth’s return. On his post-Money In The Bank show, Sapp shared that he received multiple messages from members of the current WWE roster, and their feelings were clear – they think WWE only brought Truth back because they couldn’t handle the negative attention.
According to those messages, the company was trying to give wrestlers the bare minimum and didn’t want to pay Truth more. But after the backlash, they had no choice but to bring him back.
The wrestlers feel like WWE is now pretending it was always part of the plan, when really, they were forced into it.
One talent noted that WWE officials now have their tails tucked between their legs.
