Due to his quad injury, Truth was not included in the 2023 WWE Draft after WrestleMania 39. That means he is allowed to appear on RAW, SmackDown, and NXT when he returns to television.

SmackDown star Grayson Waller also left a comment on Truth's tweet. He responded with a GIF of Thor actor Chris Hemsworth, accompanied by the caption, "See you soon."


R-Truth is good friends with one of WWE's top stars

In 2019, Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns discussed his real-life friendship with R-Truth in an interview with Sports Illustrated.

The Bloodline leader said he used to travel to WWE shows with Truth. He also revealed that he views the veteran wrestler as another member of his family:

"Ronnie [Ron Killings, R-Truth's real name] is my best friend," Reigns stated. "He's right there with The Usos, he's like blood to me. We first started riding together six years ago. He used to always tell me, 'Be that babyface, baby. Always be kind to people.' We've been tight for a long time, and he's one of the greatest of all time."

Reigns and Truth once joined forces in a tag team match. On the May 28, 2019, episode of SmackDown, the unlikely allies defeated Drew McIntyre and Elias in the main event.
