R-Truth & Damian Priest Match On WWE Smackdown Stopped Due To Apparent Injury

R-Truth and Damian Priest’s match on WWE Smackdown ended in a ref stoppage after an apparent injury to R-Truth. Friday’s show featured the two tag team partners-turned-rivals going on on one in the ring. The match, however, was stopped after a bout three in a half minutes after a possible injury.

R-Truth came off the top with a missile dropkick, but didn’t get up immediately. The referee checked on him and decided to stop the match. Priest went out of the ring and came back in with a steel chair, but Fraxiom came down to make the save.

It is not yet clear if the injury is legitimate. However, WWE has not posted any clip from the WWE Smackdown match to their social media account, something they tend to do if it is a storyline-related injury. You can see a clip of the injury moment below:

MAN I HOPE R TRUTH IS OKAY MAN.
