Randy Orton and many others have sent their heartfelt wishes to R-Truth after the latter shared a personal update on X/Twitter.

R-Truth and The Miz won the RAW Tag Team Titles in a Six-Pack Ladder Match at WrestleMania XL. This was the first time in his career that Truth managed to pick up a win at The Show of Shows.

However, Truth could not celebrate for long as he later learned that his cousin, Rosco, had suffered a stroke. Truth shared the heartbreaking news on X/Twitter and received several well-wishes from fellow wrestlers.

It remains to be seen what the Stamford-based promotion has planned for R-Truth's future.

R-Truth had big praise for The Miz after WWE WrestleMania XL win

Shortly after winning the RAW Tag Team Titles at WrestleMania XL, R-Truth appeared on The Ringer Wrestling Show. The WWE Superstar talked about his big win and also heaped massive praise on his tag team partner, The Miz.

"Aye, I will say this, The Miz is like a…he’s underrated, big time… He’s so underestimated. When we talk about being a ring general, Miz is a ring general. Almost like, Miz made me go back to being in my school days. I was that guy that I would cheat off your paper, if I knew you were smart. Miz is that guy, I would cheat off his paper, you know what I’m saying? He’s that guy you can go to for stuff," R-Truth said. [H/T POST Wrestling]

Truth has done incredibly well for himself during his current WWE stint that kicked off way back in 2008. He was instrumental in the Stamford-based promotion garnering massive YouTube numbers when the 24/7 Championship was introduced in mid-2019. He has done enough to warrant a WWE Hall of Fame induction somewhere down the line.

The Sportskeeda Wrestling community sends its best wishes to R-Truth and his cousin.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
