The Fabulous Truth to battle Andrade “Cien” Almas & Zelina Vega

Despite hosting a thoroughly entertaining and unpredictable edition of “Truth TV” last week, The Fabulous Truth came up short in the squared circle. First, R-Truth lost a one-on-one contest against The Miz, bringing a swift end to his new show, and Truth & Carmella were later defeated by Team Awe-ska in their first WWE Mixed Match Challenge Match.

In the wake of The Fabulous Truth’s misfortune, Zelina Vega ignited a firestorm on social media by tweeting that the unlikely duo were “losers.” In response, The Staten Island Princess challenged Zelina & Andrade “Cien” Almas on behalf of her tandem to a Mixed Tag Team Match on SmackDown LIVE.

Babe, #TruthTv was one of the best parts of #SDLive this week.. yano, the same show y’all weren’t even on. 🤣

Since you’re not even part of the #WWEMMC, how about the #FabulousTruth embarrass you & @AndradeCienWWE on #SDLive? 🤷🏻‍♀️ https://t.co/XASgwK0uoQ
