The announced match between Damian Priest and R-Truth was called off due to referee stoppage after an injury sustained to Truth.
After they failed to regain the WWE Tag Team Championship from the MFTs on SmackDown in Mexico City, Damian Priest turned on his former partner R-Truth, turning heel for the first time in over two years.
Following the turn, Truth and Priest’s match was announced for tonight’s episode of WWE SmackDown, but the match ended up going to an early end.
Minutes into the match, Truth took a rough bump from a Dropkick, with the referees then checking on him before throwing out the match.
Priest would go to ringside to get a steel chair after the match was thrown out, but he would not end up attacking Truth as Nathan Frazer and Axiom came to the ring to chase him off, with Truth leaving with the doctors.
Per False Finish, the finish for the match was initially set to see Priest pick up the win over Truth, with Fraxiom saving him from the attack after the match.
The injury to Truth is legitimate and led to the match being called off.
We wish Truth all the best and a full and complete recovery from his injury.
