Major WWE star explains why R-Truth never became a full-fledged member of The Judgment Day

World Tag Team Champion R-Truth got a new purpose in WWE after the star returned to the promotion following an injury as he wanted to join The Judgment Day. A major star recently spoke about Truth and revealed why he never became a member of the villainous stable.

Last year, Truth began his journey on Monday Night RAW to join the heinous stable. Apart from Damian Priest, The Judgment Day was not interested in entertaining R-Truth and didn't want him to become a member. Eventually, Priest also went against the idea, and the veteran didn't join the group.

During an appearance on The Rob Brown Show, World Heavyweight Champion Damian Priest spoke about R-Truth. The Archer of Infamy explained why the faction didn't want to add the star and felt like the group was losing their touch.

"Alright, look, he was a full-fledged member of wearing a t-shirt. He was not a member of The Judgment Day ever. Look, I enjoyed my time having fun with R-Truth. I feel like I showed the world a different side of myself, you know, where they saw me laughing and smiling. When I'm in the ring, I'm usually nowhere near that. But, at some point, we have to get back to The Judgment Day business," said Priest.

He also explained why they had to attack R-Truth.

"Having fun is great, but we also have to lay down the law because we're The Judgment Day. I felt like we got away from that a little bit, and we're too nice. To get back to that, we had to kind of put the beating on R-Truth just to remind ourselves who we are," said Priest. (From 2:41:00 to 2:41:52)
