R-Truth is officially sidelined after suffering an injury on Friday’s SmackDown, and it all went down during his match against Damian Priest. The veteran WWE Superstar might be out of action for a while after an intense moment where he climbed to the top turnbuckle and delivered a Missile Dropkick to his former tag team partner. You gotta feel for the 54-year-old, because the referee immediately checked on him while he was on the mat and had to call for the match to end.
The Brutal Finish and the Unfinished Business
Honestly, it looked rough out there. After the match was stopped, Priest, never one to miss an opportunity to be a total menace, tried to keep the segment going. He even grabbed a steel chair to continue his assault on R-Truth, because of course he did. Luckily, Fraxiom’s Axiom and Nathan Frazer came out to make the save, which was a huge relief for anyone watching. This whole thing just feels like it’s been brewing for a while. R-Truth and Priest’s partnership totally dissolved last month after they failed to capture the AAA World Tag Team Championship from the War Raiders. That failure really seems to have set the stage for all this bitterness we’re seeing now.
Priest’s Path to Heeldom and R-Truth’s Road Back
This injury is a huge twist in what was already a hot storyline. Priest is clearly on his way to becoming a top heel, but the drama with R-Truth is far from over. He needs to finish his storyline with his former partner first, and now, with R-Truth on the shelf, you have to wonder how that’s going to play out. Fans everywhere are definitely hoping R-Truth won’t miss too much time, because the guy brings so much to the ring. But it’s looking pretty safe to expect that he won’t be in the ring for a while, which stinks. Keep your eyes peeled to see how Priest navigates this without his storyline partner, and when we might see R-Truth back in action. The WWE Universe is definitely going to be buzzing about this one.
