WWE SmackDown star Alexa Bliss sent an emotional two-word message to R-Truth today on social media. The former United States Champion announced today that he was being released by the company, and reports later noted that the promotion would not be renewing his contract once it expired.

Alexa Bliss went on hiatus from the company for two years before her return at WWE Royal Rumble 2025. She took to social media today to send a heartfelt message to R-Truth, thanking him for his contributions to the business. You can check out the former Women’s Champion’s message in her post below.

“THANK YOU!!! ,” she wrote.

Alexa Bliss defeated Chelsea Green and Michin on the May 16 edition of WWE SmackDown to qualify for the Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder match at the premium live event this Saturday night. Bliss has also been having interesting backstage conversations with Charlotte Flair in recent weeks on the blue brand.

R-Truth was in action this past Friday night on WWE SmackDown and lost to JC Mateo in a quick match. Solo Sikoa and Mateo attacked the veteran following the bout, but Jimmy Uso sprinted to the ring with a steel chair to break it up. Uso shared his reaction to Truth’s departure from the company earlier today.

Former WWE writer claims Alexa Bliss shouldn’t have won her Money in the Bank qualifying match

Wrestling legend Vince Russo recently suggested that another star should have qualified for the Women’s Money in the Bank ladder match instead of Alexa Bliss.

Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling’s Legion of RAW show, Russo claimed that Chelsea Green should have won the Money in the Bank qualifying match last month on SmackDown. He suggested that the bout would have been more entertaining with The Hot Mess involved and added that The Secret Hervice could have interfered as well.

”It was Alexa Bliss, Chelsea Green, and Michin. How much more interesting would it have been if it would have been [sic] Chelsea Green and her two bodyguards [Piper Niven and Alba Fyre]? Would that not have been much better, and what story could we have gotten out of that? But no, we beat Chelsea, and now we’ve got nothing,” Russo said. [From 45:33 onwards]

It will be fascinating to see if Bliss can win the Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder match this Saturday night.
