WWE wrestler Ron Killings, better known as popular heel R-Truth, “got got” recently. I’m not talking about the injury angle at the end of RAW, or his mythical conspiracy theories; I’m talking about him being nabbed violating the company’s Employee Wellness Policy.

The suspension went into effect after Monday’s RAW, so Killing won’t be eligible to return until the RAW broadcast following Christmas Day, on Monday, December 26. The injury angle and the breakup of the Awesome Truth team will offer an immediate feud for Killings upon his return, with former tag teammate The Miz.

Let’s hope Killings learns his lesson and doesn’t flush away a promising in-ring career. It would be a shame to see an entertainer with his feel for the business to end up selling medical step stools for a living. There are plenty of folks gifted at that already.

In becoming Raw general manager, Bret Hart announced he was vacating the US Title he won off The Miz last week and that Miz would face top contender R-Truth to determine the new champ. R-Truth, coming off a nice win over Ted DiBiase Jr. at the Over the Top PPV, put on a show and was awarded the title.

This win sets up a natural feud over the US title between R-Truth and the Miz, which ought to make for more good matches, if this title match was any indicator. They displayed good in-ring chemistry and told a good tale from a ring psychology standpoint without over-relying on high-spots.

The Miz, who has obviously been laying off the weight loss diet supplements since his Real World New Orleans days, has matured into a solid heel, though he hasn’t yet rid himself of that youthful, Real World look.
