R-Truth wants people to see his dark side.
R-Truth has become one of WWE's most beloved babyfaces, and it has been years since he's had a run as a heel. He previously had a heel run in 2011-2012, when he feuded with John Cena and teamed up with The Miz. Throughout 2023 and 2024, R-Truth has firmly established himself as a popular babyface, as his run alongside The Judgment Day was particularly well-received.
Speaking on Insight with Chris Van Vliet, R-Truth was asked about potentially turning heel.
“There’s a part of me that does want to turn heel again. I think it’s a selfish part so that people can see me as a heel, just because a couple of generations have just known me as R-Truth the fun guy, the comedic guy. A lot of people have not seen that side of me that can still be brought out. The only time I went to talk about turning heel [they said] ‘I don’t think people want to see you as a heel, you to make people feel good.' There’s a part of me that wants to turn heel, selfishly, because I can be a good heel, I can be an asshole. But there’s so many bad guys, you gotta be one of the good ones. Everybody's a bad guy. It's easy to be a bad guy. The selfish part of me would love to turn heel and be a heel, but the majority of me is like I could never be a heel. People would think it’s cool if I did something bad, if I did something heelish they would think it’s cool. I smoked a cigarette and they thought that was the coolest thing on TV. To be a heel you have to get that real, genuine hatred heel heat. Mine would be more of like, they will want me to bash somebody’s head in. Selfishly, I would love to see it one time, but I don’t have to," R-Truth said.
