WWE Smackdown star denied entry into Canada for tonight's taping

Ron Killings (a/k/a R-Truth) was detained at the Canadian border today and denied entry into the country for tonight's WWE Raw and Smackdown tapings, according to Mike Johnson of PWInsider.com. As such, he will not be able to appear on the shows this week.

Powell's POV: It's worth noting that former TNA agent and wrestler Glenn Gilbertti (a/k/a Disco Inferno) also had issues when TNA headed north of the border for a pay-per-view event due to his past legal issues. It's possible that something similar prevented Killings from entering the country, although that's just speculation.

This won't help Killings's already shaky standing in the company. As I reported last week, WWE officials have soured on him due to his in-ring work. You can check out that story by clicking here.
