Kevin Owens shared a lovely tribute for the departing WWE star.
Owens, who, much like many others, was taken aback by the news of R-Truth quitting WWE once his current contract expires.
Kevin Owens took to his X (FKA Twitter) to write a heartfelt note to his colleague, whom he mentioned was among the few people he had unlimited respect and admiration for.
He tweeted out the following after Truth’s farewell message:
“I’ve said many times that there are a few people in this industry for whom I have unlimited respect, love and admiration for.
@RonKillings is at the very top of that list.
An incredible, timeless performer with an unmatched ability to entertain and bring a smile to anyone he encounters, be it the fans or every single person lucky enough to have had the privilege to work alongside him.
His kindness, humility and infectious good nature makes him one of the most beloved people I’ve met in this industry and the void that his absence will leave in our locker room is immeasurable.
I love you, dude”
