WWE Star Confirms Absence from 8/19 RAW

R-Truth’s known for his entertaining antics and ability to make fans laugh, but he was brutally attacked by Bronson Reed on RAW last week. As a result of Bronson’s attack, he has now confirmed that he will be absent from RAW this week as a result.

Bronson Reed has been on a destructive rampage, leaving a string of injured Superstars in his wake. WWE used his brutal attack on Seth Rollins to write Rollins off TV, though the real reason was Rollins’ ongoing battle with a chronic injury. On the August 12 episode of WWE RAW, Reed’s rampage continued.

Reed faced The Miz in a singles match, quickly taking control. After the match, Reed climbed the top rope and delivered a Tsunami to Miz. When R-Truth tried to intervene, Reed unleashed a Tsunami on him as well.

Reed went on to deliver four more Tsunamis, climbing to the other corner to hit one final Tsunami on R-Truth. His rampage concluded with a total of five Tsunamis. R-Truth has since provided a health update, revealing that he suffered cracked ribs from the attack.

R-Truth took to Twitter and announced he won’t be able to attend tonight’s Raw show, citing soreness and stiffness. He mentioned he’s slowly recovering but still moving around. Despite his current condition, he’s excited to finish up a new single with a surprise feature, set to be released on August 30, 2024. He expressed gratitude for the well-wishes and thoughts from his fans.

”There’s no way I can make it to work today. Sore, stiff, slowly getting around, but I’m movin! 🙏🏾 blessed to be able to at least finish up on soon to be released NEW single with a surprise feature! #YouKnowIt 8/30/24 Thank you all for your get well wishes and thoughts.”

We previously reported that R-Truth would be taking time off from television to sell Bronson’s Reed attacks as well. Regardless, it remains to be seen when R-Truth will return to WWE television, as he certainly wants revenge on Bronson Reed.
