R-Truth has confirmed that the injury sustained in his recent NXT bout with Grayson Waller was a torn quadricep.

He explained the situation in a video tweeted out to his followers thanking them for support while on his way to the hospital for surgery.

For those unable to view, he said (h/t WrestlingInc);

"Hey, hey, hey. What's up? First off, I want to thank each and every one of y'all for y'all concerns and your get-wells, your prayers, your support," Truth said. "Yes, unfortunately, I got hurt. I did tear my quad tendon, and I'm at the surgery now as we speak. It is what it is, right? Y'all know I'll be back. I wanna thank you. Without you, there ain't no me. I'll be back before y'all know it."

Truth suffered the injury while attempting a dive onto Waller during their clash on the November 1st edition of the show. The match was immediately brought to a halt and he was carried out by medics as the developmental star bragged about his ill-gotten win.
