TOP STORIES TODAY
The A-Lister was rocked by the news that the company had released Truth, and it seems that many fans have noticed that he has taken action. The Miz shared an emotional message about his former tag team partner, whom he worked with for several years as Awesome Truth, before unfollowing WWE on social media.
He also removed the line from his bio stating that he was a WWE Superstar, with reports now suggesting that his contract will also expire later this year. The Miz signed a new deal in 2018, when he already had two years remaining on his existing contract, and it appears that the new deal extended his tenure through 2025.
 It has been a tough week for wrestling, with R-Truth and Carlito already announcing that they will be departing WWE when their contracts expire later in the year. It seems that these are not the only stars who are being released by the company, as Valhalla took to Instagram earlier today to not only announce her departure but also to say goodbye to wrestling. In an emotional message, Valhalla talked about leaving the business in good hands with her husband and, hopefully, her children in the future. She noted that she will leave Valhalla behind and work on being Sarah. |  Though this week's WWE RAW featured plenty of memorable segments and matches, what stood out the most was the crowd constantly chanting R-Truth's name. The Oklahoma fans didn't go unheard as CM Punk acknowledged their support for the legendary performer after the show went off the air. Truth's announcement that he would be departing WWE after the company didn't renew his contract sent shockwaves across the wrestling world. It led to an outpouring of support for him from not only fans but even those within the company. As soon as this week's RAW began, the crowd was loudly chanting R-Truth's name and continued to do so several times throughout the rest of the episode. While the commentators didn't acknowledge it, once RAW went off air, CM Punk took the mic and finally addressed the chants. |
FROM THE RUMOR MILL
According to a recent report from Fightful Select, the onscreen couple was discussed to appear at the upcoming WWE Worlds Collide event this Saturday. Although Mysterio and Morgan won't be in action, they will reportedly be a part of a segment during the show.

TOP FEATURES
Triple H’s decision to release R-Truth and Carlito faced significant backlash on the internet as fans are unhappy with this move. Additionally, reports revealed that WWE's backstage is also in shock over this decision. During the latest episode of the red brand, fans broke into a massive R-Truth chant, also showing their love for the veteran star.
Amid this, it appears that The Game may have quietly taken Carlito off WWE television. This was noticed by fans during a backstage segment of The Judgment Day, where Finn Balor and Dominik Mysterio were involved in an interaction. Usually, in such segments, the Bad Apple was involved, and there was even a PS5 in the back where The Judgment Day members enjoyed playing WWE's game. However, on RAW tonight, there was no Carlito involved, nor the PS5.
