Former WWE US Champion R-Truth made a rare appearance on the latest edition of RAW and defeated The Miz in a singles match. He received a big pop from his hometown crowd in Charlotte, North Carolina.
The 50-year-old last appeared on RAW in July to team up with The Street Profits in a six-man tag team match against Undisputed Tag Team Champions The Usos and Omos.
The Miz appeared to have the match under control but got distracted by a masked man standing behind the barricade. The A-Lister assumed it was Dexter Lumis and started shouting at him.
R-Truth capitalized on the distraction with an inside cradle for the pinfall victory. It was revealed that Johnny Gargano was under the mask and had tricked The Miz.
