Damian Priest and R-Truth tag team dissolution

Overview

Damian Priest and R-Truth were scheduled to challenge the War Raiders for the AAA Tag Team Championships during a WWE SmackDown event in Mexico City on September 11, 2026. The match followed a period of tension between the partners, with Priest previously indicating that the bout would be their final appearance as a team.

Following their loss to the War Raiders, Priest ended the partnership by attacking R-Truth. After the match, Priest initially appeared to support Truth, but then struck him with a lariat and a ‘South of Heaven’ chokeslam. This betrayal follows Priest’s reported frustration with Truth’s comedic style and the duo’s loss of the WWE Tag Team Championship in August 2026.
