An encouraging update follows the stoppage against Damian Priest.
Summary
– R-Truth reportedly appears to be all right following his SmackDown injury scare
– He is expected to undergo an evaluation next week
– His match with Damian Priest ended after a top-rope dropkick
R-Truth has received an encouraging update after his match with Damian Priest was stopped on SmackDown, although further evaluation is still ahead.
Bryan Alvarez reported that Truth appears to be all right and will be evaluated next week. The update did not include a diagnosis, details about the apparent injury or a timetable for returning to competition.
The concern began when Truth delivered a dropkick from the top rope during his singles match against Priest. After Truth landed, the referee checked on him and ended the contest, awarding Priest the victory by stoppage.
The segment continued with Priest retrieving a steel chair. Axiom and Nathan Frazer arrived to protect Truth, preventing his former partner from continuing the attack.
The match followed the breakdown of Truth and Priest’s partnership. Priest had turned against him after their unsuccessful challenge for the AAA World Tag Team Championship in Mexico City.
For now, the latest report offers reassurance without establishing that Truth has been cleared to wrestle. His upcoming evaluation should provide a clearer picture of his condition and whether any time away from the ring will be needed.
