Update on R-Truth after WWE NXT injury

R-Truth could be facing a significant time out of action after suffering an injury on WWE NXT.

Dave Meltzer noted in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that, while not confirmed, it’s believed that Truth suffered a torn quad on this Tuesday’s NXT. Truth injured his left leg during a match against Grayson Waller on the show.

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.

Truth’s match against Waller ended in a referee stoppage after the injury.

This was the second straight week that Truth had appeared on NXT. There was an angle on last week’s show where Truth and Waller’s match was set up. After Truth showed up thinking it was Halloween Havoc, Waller challenged him to a match for next week. Waller went to attack Truth but got laid out by Truth and Wes Lee.

Truth was also on this Monday’s Raw, taking part in a segment where he was laid out with the End of Days after interrupting Baron Corbin and JBL.
