R-Truth suffered an injury on this week’s NXT.
R-Truth squared off against Grayson Waller in the opening match of NXT this week. At one point during the match, Truth sent Waller out of the ring for a diving spot. Truth then delivered a dive, but he hit hard while landing on the mat after catching his foot on the ring ropes.
Due to this, it was evident he suffered an injury. According to Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, R-Truth likely suffered a quad injury, which will put him on the shelf for a long time.
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.

A torn quad is a common injury in professional wrestling with the likes of Vince McMahon and Triple H suffering the injury previously. Time will tell how long Truth will be out of action with this injury.
