How did R-Truth get injured?

R-Truth's injury came during his NXT match against Grayson Waller.

The match saw the 50-year-old wrestler go down after a botched move where his leg was caught on the top rope from a Tope Con Giro. The referee had to stop the bout after this.

The NXT medical team then escorted him to the backstage area, after which further updates came regarding the star's health.

What's up for #WWENXT tonight?

Given that this came when Truth was finally being featured regularly on WWE television again, this might be quite a blow.

The Sportskeeda community wishes a speedy and full recovery to the veteran.
