R-Truth returned from a torn quadricep in November 2023 following a year of recovery. During an interview with Cheap Heat, R-Truth revealed that he had suffered an infection in his knee, which resulted in his knee having a hole. This was the result of five different bacteria eating his knee from the inside out. The infection took several months to heal, including a PICC line, a VAC to change the blood and a surgery. Had the infection not healed, R-Truth’s doctor had discussed amputating his leg.

Opinion: To say that would be a relief would be the biggest understatement imaginable. R-Truth would be dealing with one of the worst possible scenarios so thankfully he is back to health and even back in the ring. To think that some bacteria could have done so much damage is terrifying but at the end of the day, everything seems ok again and that could be so much worse.
