WWE star The Miz talks R-Truth's departure announcement

WrestleMania 41 fans packed the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas for Night 2. After Ava Max wrapped the national anthem, they started with "USA" chants.

The WWE star known as R-Truth shocked the pro wrestling world over the weekend when he announced he was set to depart the company after nearly 20 total years with the brand.

Among R-Truth’s many accomplishments in the ring include being a longtime tag-team partner of the superstar known as The Miz. The two achieved tag-team gold at WrestleMania 40 when they won the RAW Tag Team Championships in a six-pack ladder match.

The bond between the team, billed as Awesome Truth, captured the hearts and minds of the wrestling audience, which is why reaction to R-Truth’s announcement was strong.

Fox News Digital asked The Miz about his reaction to the revelation in a recent interview ahead of his appearance at The American Century Championship celebrity golf tournament next month.

"Obviously, I was in a tag team with R-Truth, so it’s always sad to see something like that happen," he said. "But I think Truth will bounce on his feet. He’s a hell of a talented superstar."
