WWE SmackDown: Damian Priest Turns His Back on Fans by Attacking Friend R-Truth

September 11, 2026

 

Did you hear that ovation for R-Truth ??

On SmackDown of September 11, 2026, the War Raiders defended their AAA World Tag Team titles against the solid duo of Damian Priest and R-Truth. While R-Truth delighted the Mexican crowd, Erik and Ivar did not hesitate to strike at their challengers.

Cheered by the crowd, the Puerto Rican veteran unleashed his signature holds to weaken the champions. Then, the champions slowed the pace to better control the match. After pulling off John Cena’s moves, the 54-year-old veteran managed to land an Attitude Adjustment on Ivar, who weighs no less than 133 kilograms. But in the end, after absorbing a brutal powerbomb, R-Truth falls. This Sunday during Night 2 of TripleMania, the War Raiders will defend their AAA World Tag Team titles in an open challenge. Will they retain their belts?

After the match, while Damian Priest seemed to congratulate his partner, the former world champion attacked R-Truth amid boos from the crowd. Frustrated by the defeat, Damian landed his South of Heaven to KO R-Truth… This marks the end of this duo…
