R‑Truth Injury Halts SmackDown Match After Referee Throws Up X Sign

The referee's 'X' sign declared the injury real, halting the planned finish pending a WWE medical update.

Overview

  • R‑Truth landed awkwardly after a top‑rope dropkick, fell on the back of his head and did not get up as the referee rushed to check him.
  • The official raised the 'X' signal used in WWE to mark a legitimate injury and medical staff entered the ring to treat Truth.
  • WWE stopped the match and abandoned the planned finish for Damian Priest, and Axiom with Nathan Frazer later appeared to prevent further on‑air violence.
  • Medical personnel helped Truth out of the ring and took him backstage where sources reported he appeared dazed and was being checked for a possible concussion.
  • The situation remains developing with no formal diagnosis from WWE and the company’s medical update and any booking changes are the key things to watch next.
