Another WWE star has switched brands as part of the company’s extended transfer window. Veteran talent R-Truth has been moved to the SmackDown brand, according to PWInsider. We haven’t seen any public acknowledgement from WWE as of this writing, but he’ll be on SmackDown going forward.
This move reunites him with his former tag team partner, The Miz. Nearly a year ago, the duo won the Tag Team Titles at WrestleMania XL.
WWE introduced the transfer window program in late 2024, allowing for the general managers of Raw, SmackDown and NXT to negotiate the exchange of talent. Notable moves include Bayley, Grayson Waller, and Austin Theory transitioning from SmackDown to Raw, while Raw‘s Damian Priest, Drew McIntyre, and The Miz have moved to SmackDown. While stars like Roman Reigns, Kevin Owens, and Cody Rhodes have appeared on different brands, their transfers have yet to be officially confirmed.
R-Truth returned to WWE in 2008 and has been a mainstay ever since. He has won the WWE United States Championship twice, the WWE Tag Team Championship twice (once with Kofi Kingston and once with The Miz), and the WWE 24/7 Championship a record 54 times.
