R-Truth undergoing surgery for torn quad after WWE NXT injury

R-Truth has confirmed that he suffered a torn quad on last week’s episode of NXT.

In a video he posted to his social media accounts on Tuesday, R-Truth announced that he was about to undergo surgery after tearing his quad while facing Grayson Waller on NXT. Truth thanked everyone for their support and promised that he’ll be back before they know it.

The injury happened when the 50-year-old Truth went for a flip dive against Waller in their match on NXT last Tuesday. Truth didn’t fully clear the top rope and landed badly on his left leg. After Truth was tended to by medical personnel, the match ended in a referee stoppage.

Dave Meltzer reported last week that it was believed Truth suffered a torn quad in the match:

R-Truth was injured on the 11/1 NXT show doing a flip dive against Grayson Waller. He didn’t quite clear the top rope on the move and came down badly and his left leg was gone. This wasn’t confirmed at press time, but the belief was that he tore his quad, which is a very serious injury that could keep him out for a long time.
