Tonight on WWE RAW, a former champion found himself in a precarious situation, narrowly escaping a beatdown at the hands of The Judgment Day faction.
In recent weeks, R-Truth had humorously believed that he was a member of The Judgment Day, leading to entertaining moments on the show. Despite constant attacks from the faction members, R-Truth remained steadfast in his belief, much to the dismay of The Miz, who had warned him against it.
During tonight’s episode, Damian Priest and his faction confronted R-Truth backstage, setting the record straight that he was not part of their group. Priest conveyed this message to the 52-year-old wrestler before informing him of his scheduled match against JD McDonagh later in the evening.

This revelation prompted R-Truth to seek help, attempting to call The Miz for assistance. Unfortunately, Miz was nowhere to be found. In his match against McDonagh, R-Truth incorporated John Cena’s wrestling moves into his performance. Despite his efforts, McDonagh emerged victorious.
Post-match, Priest and his faction continued their assault on R-Truth until the unexpected arrival of DIY, who intervened to save the former champion from further harm.
The turn of events hints at a potential feud between R-Truth and Priest’s faction, raising speculation about The Miz possibly pursuing tag team gold with R-Truth in the near future. As the storyline develops, it remains to be seen how this newfound rivalry will impact the trajectory of these WWE superstars.
