Damian Priest Turns On R-Truth After AAA Tag Title Match Loss On WWE Smackdown

Damian Priest and R-Truth are no longer partners, with Priest turning on Truth after they failed to win the AAA World Tag Team Titles on WWE Smackdown. The two battled the War Raiders for the latter’s championships on Friday’s show. The match was an attempt by Priest and Truth to regain tag team gold after they lost the WWE Tag Team Championships back in August.

The War Raiders were ultimately victorious in the match, hitting the Ragnarok to retain their championships in a little over eight minutes. After the match, R-Truth helped Truth up and Priest gives Truth a sombrero that the latter had worn to the ring. He then clotheslined his former partner to the mat and then hit him with South Of Heaven.
