WWE veteran R-Truth has provided an update to fans, assuring everyone that he is doing okay following a frightening injury scare that forced an abrupt end to his match on the October 16 episode of SmackDown.
During a singles encounter against his former tag team partner Damian Priest, Truth executed a front dropkick from the top rope but failed to get back to his feet. Recognizing that something was wrong, the referee immediately checked on the veteran star and waved off the match, awarding the victory to Priest.
