If you’ve been wondering where the current WWE United States Champion is, you’re not the only one. Turns out the champion himself, R-Truth, has noticed his absence on television.

R-Truth won the title from Shinsuke Nakamura on the 1/29 episode of SmackDown Live, though he hasn’t appeared on the show in a while despite claiming gold.

Poking fun at his own situation, R-Truth took to his Instagram account highlighting how he has been missing from action. The post displays a carton of milk with R-Truth plastered on the side under a ‘Missing’ headline. It asks that if he is to be found, people should contact Carmella.

Next to the carton is a picture of R-Truth with his hands and feet tied and his mouth duct taped shut with the U.S. Championship around his waist.


R-Truth has become known over the years for being his part in numerous WWE skits and comedy segments. Years ago he was accompanied by a small, invisible child called ‘Little Jimmy’; more recently he has been associated with Carmella, especially during their stint as a team for WWE’s Mixed Match Challenge. The duo would eventually win the tournament and with it an all-expenses-paid vacation to anywhere in the world. R-Truth chose the WWE Headquarters in Stamford, Connecticut.
