WWE’s Money in the Bank Hype Falls Flat as Fans Hijack Comments for R-Truth and Carlito’s Return

WWE tried switching gears with a nostalgia post—but fans still aren’t letting up about R-Truth and Carlito.

Hours after Triple H’s tweet congratulating El Hijo del Vikingo got hijacked by outraged fans, the official WWE account tried to promote a replay of Money in the Bank 2010 on WWE Vault. Instead of getting fans hyped for a throwback, the post immediately spiraled into another protest.

At 7PM, WWE tweeted: “🚨 STREAMING NOW! 🚨 Relive the first-ever #MITB event from 2010 on WWE Vault! Watch two Money in the Bank Ladder Matches, plus @JohnCena challenging WWE Champion @WWESheamus inside a Steel Cage!” The tweet featured a poster with Kofi Kingston, John Cena, and other stars—but the replies had zero interest in MITB nostalgia.

One fan shot back, “Bring back R-Truth #WeWantRTruth #BringBackRTruth.” Another wrote, “Won’t be watching. Bring back R-Truth and Carlito.” Dozens more echoed the same sentiment: “Bring back Truth and Carlito.” “So when are y’all gonna resign R-Truth?” “Don’t care. Resign R-Truth.”

Some responses ditched words altogether, dropping GIFs of R-Truth smiling, dancing, or cutting promos—a not-so-subtle reminder of what fans feel WWE just threw away. One person summed up the mood: “Nah I’m good. Y’all done lost a lot of fans getting rid of R-Truth and Carlito. Don’t make no damn sense.”

Others used the platform to take shots at the content WWE was pushing: “Carlito and R-Truth are more entertaining than anything on that show, 2010 was the drizzling shits.”

Even comments like, “We Want Truth,” and “I learned from R-Truth and Carlito… Damn WWE…” made it clear—fans aren’t in a nostalgic mood unless it involves bringing back the two stars they feel never should’ve been cut.

What started as a quiet outrage is now a full-on revolt in WWE’s comment sections. And with no statement from the company and no response from leadership, every promotional tweet is turning into a battlefield.
