Wrestling Observer's Bryan Alvarez said on 18 October that Truth looks all right, but he has no details on the injury. Truth landed badly after delivering a missile dropkick from the top rope against Damian Priest on Friday's SmackDown, prompting the referee to end the match. Doctors will assess him next week, and there's still no word on what he hurt.
