Explained in plain English

Who decides if Truth wrestles?

WWE has a dedicated medical team that assesses all injuries, and their decision on a wrestler's fitness is final. Even if R-Truth feels fine, he must pass their evaluations before returning to the ring. This strict protocol prioritises performer safety, meaning even minor injuries can lead to significant time off, impacting storylines and fan expectations.
