In the latest episode of the blue brand, Priest and R-Truth were backstage watching The MFTs’ promo segment. R-Truth began talking about bringing the tag gold back home.
However, Damian cut Truth off and told the veteran that he had enjoyed their time teaming together, but now that they no longer held the Tag Team titles, he was looking to get back to singles competition. As the babyface team was talking, the War Raiders walked in and exchanged trash talk with the Wepa Up.
R-Truth urged the Raiders to put the AAA World Tag Team Championship on the line against him and Priest, and the Raiders accepted the challenge.
That said, WWE has planted the seeds for a potential split between Truth and Priest.
Here we take a look at three reasons WWE could be breaking up Damian Priest and R-Truth:
#3 Former WWE World Heavyweight Champion returning to singles competition
Before teaming up with R-Truth, Damian Priest had a picture-perfect singles run. He also earned major accolades as a singles competitor, winning the World Heavyweight Championship after successfully cashing in his Money in the Bank contract at WrestleMania XL.
It’s been a while since Priest has been in the World title picture. Now that he’s had a successful run in the tag team division, it could be the perfect chance for Damian to head back to the main title picture, and parting ways with Truth could be an ideal start to his road back. Hence, this may be a reason why Priest and Truth are breaking up as a tag team.
#2 R-Truth potentially nearing retirement
Truth is undoubtedly one of the most beloved figures in the sport’s history. A running joke about Truth is that he is ageless: he is 54 and still looks jacked, and he remains athletic in the ring.
But regardless of how young Truth might look, the physical demands of professional wrestling become harder to sustain with age.
Also, Truth has spoken publicly about his eventual retirement, although he has not announced a retirement date.
Since last week, the company has been hinting at tension between Priest and Truth. If WWE turns that tension into a rivalry, it could potentially become part of Truth’s eventual retirement story.
That said, breaking up Wepa Up first could be a perfect setup for Truth’s potential retirement feud.
#1 Priest potentially leaving SmackDown
Damian Priest is romantically involved with former NXT Women’s Champion Lola Vice.
Early in August, Vice bid farewell to the black and gold brand after she lost the NXT Women’s Championship rematch to Kendal Grey in an Underground Match, a stipulation in which she had been undefeated.
After she lost the match, there were rumors about her main roster call-up. On the August 24 episode of RAW, WWE aired a vignette teasing Vice’s arrival on the September 14 episode.
Given their real-life relationship, WWE could use their chemistry on-screen and pair them on television.
That said, if that’s the case, the first step could be for the former World Heavyweight Champion to jump ship from SmackDown to RAW.
This might be another reason why Priest and Truth could be heading towards a split. So, the former Judgment Day member could eventually go back to RAW if WWE decides to pair him on-screen with his girlfriend, Lola Vice.
