His former partner promises retaliation ahead of Friday
Summary
– R-Truth delivered a serious warning to Damian Priest
– He challenged Priest’s claims about returning to his roots
– Truth ended his message by saying he would see Priest Friday
R-Truth followed his October 9 SmackDown return with a direct warning to Damian Priest, making it clear their confrontation was only the beginning.
Speaking in a WWE exclusive interview, Truth acknowledged his reputation as the wrestler who makes everyone laugh. He then warned Priest against confusing that personality with someone unwilling to fight back.
“When they go low, I go lower,” Truth said. “I don’t believe in taking the high ground.”
Truth described back roads, back streets, and shortcuts as familiar territory. His message challenged Priest’s talk about reconnecting with his roots and embracing the streets.
“You talking about going to your roots? Going back to the streets?” Truth said. “I made those roots. I am the streets. You must have forgot.”
The warning followed Truth’s return earlier that evening, when he attacked Priest during a backstage confrontation involving Axiom and Nathan Frazer. This time, Truth left the humor behind as he addressed his former partner.
“You want to hurt me? Now I’m going to hurt you,” he said. “But I’m not going to talk about it. I’m going to be about it.”
Truth closed with “See you Friday,” pointing toward another encounter. His comments did not announce a match, but they left little doubt that he intends to continue pursuing Priest.
