WWE Hall of Famer Jeff Jarrett recently gave his thoughts on the sweeping changes in the professional wrestling world, connecting the company’s sale to numerous superstar departures, including R-Truth. Jarrett, now overseeing business development at All Elite Wrestling (AEW), shared on his podcast that these events are shifting the entire landscape, as seen in the aftermath of WWE’s sale. This article reviews how Jeff Jarrett comments on WWE sale and releases, highlighting their ongoing effects across the industry.
Jarrett’s Reflections on Superstar Departures
During a recent episode of “My World with Jeff Jarrett,” the wrestling veteran recounted the buzz surrounding R-Truth’s exit from WWE. He explained that discussions of these departures have become a frequent topic among fellow professionals and fans.

Jarrett noted how R-Truth’s situation was not isolated, reflecting broader transitions within WWE following its sale. As changes unfold, Jarrett’s remarks show that the impact is being felt throughout the community, reaching far beyond a single departure.
Connecting WWE’s Sale to Roster Changes
Directly addressing the connection between WWE’s sale and the wave of releases, Jarrett placed the blame on the company’s evolving structure. He remarked on the irreversible nature of these changes and predicted a drastic influx of former WWE talent seeking opportunities.
“But at the end of the day, it truly is a result of Vince selling the company. This is the new WWE, and it’s not going back, it’s not going reverse. But the industry as a whole — man, there’s some opportunity. Because the market is going to be, I’ll say this, flooded with talent, with a voice, with the social media following, with the promotional punch and power. It’s exciting. Now, it’s not personally exciting. I love Truth, and I hope we get to continue to talk about him. And I think there’s a full episode on him.”

This perspective emphasizes the industry-wide effects of WWE’s overhaul, with experienced performers and established personalities like R-Truth likely to influence future promotions.
Opportunities and Optimism for R-Truth
As a long-time peer and industry veteran, Jarrett expressed a personal sense of loss while voicing optimism for R-Truth’s future opportunities, reflecting on Truth’s journey from TNA champion to his role in WWE.
“For several years when he came in the door at TNA. Yes, Truth had some comedy, but I always saw him also — I mean, he was champion. I saw him as a very — when Truth wanted to cut a serious promo? Good God, he could cut a serious, very serious promo. But once I kind of saw the role he settled into, and where Vince saw him at and would have utilized him, there wasn’t ever a segment that he didn’t hit it out of the park. And like you just said, he just comes off the Cena situation. I think that more than anything… I think there’s a boatload of opportunity. Personally, I hate to see it for Truth, but I know him. He’s gonna rebound in bigger and broader and bolder ways. Buddy, I think the future is very bright for that man.”

With experienced athletes leaving WWE, as indicated by Jarrett’s comments, organizations like AEW may now see an influx of skilled performers seeking new platforms. For fans and industry insiders, these changes suggest a future brimming with new rivalry, innovation, and creative opportunities for both wrestlers and promotions.
