R-Truth Provides Update on His Medical Status Amid In-Ring Absence

WWE Superstar R-Truth has provided an update on his medical status amid his ongoing absence from in-ring competition.

Truth, who is one-half of the WWE Tag Team Champions alongside Damian Priest, was last seen in action during the May 1, 2026, episode of Friday Night SmackDown, where he and Priest retained the title against Fraxiom.

In the weeks that followed, Truth would reveal to Priest that he had picked up an injury and would not be able to compete unless he were medically cleared. Despite that, he has continued to remain on television, navigating the differences between Damian Priest and Royce Keys amid their ongoing feud with the MFTs.

During a recent conversation with WittyWhittier, R-Truth revealed that he has yet to receive medical clearance.

Here’s what R-Truth said:

“Anybody. There’s no dream, man. We live in the reality right now. Like my childhood hero, my older brother would say, dawg, you know what I am saying? It’s open challenges to them, dawg! You know what I’m saying? We invite them all. You know what I’m saying?

“If they want to step up, pull up. MFTs, we got to take care of them because they’re on a whole different thing, dawg. They’re hurting people. I’m not even medically released yet because of the MFTs. You know what I’m saying? So, it’s like, right now, they’re on the radar, though.”
