R-Truth stays one in every of WWE’s most humorous characters. For that very reason, though, his tag team partner Damian Priest sometimes finds it difficult to collaborate with him on-screen.
“I feel everybody knows what it’s like working with him. It is a struggle,” Priest told “Gabby AF.” ‘He’s just one in every of those guys that he has this comedic timing and presence that it’s inconceivable to remain serious with him in any respect times. And we return from the Judgment Day days. So with our interactions then, if anything, I believed we’d have teamed back then simply because I used to be at all times so mad within the Judgment Day. However it’s one in every of those things that just comes back around. I’m glad it did because on this time of the yr, where it’s WrestleMania season and once you haven’t got a direction, it type of sucks. But having him around and this became a direction by accident, it’s awesome. I am unable to stress how great it’s to be around any person who at all times makes you smile.”
As Priest alluded to, he and Truth initially headed into WrestleMania season seemingly with no creative direction. Upon their spontaneous pairing on “WWE SmackDown,” nonetheless, he and Truth struck literal gold as they unseated the MFTs as WWE Tag Team Champions. Most recently, the pair successfully defended the titles against Kofi Kingston and Grayson Waller on the ultimate “SmackDown” before WrestleMania 42.
Up to now, Truth and Priest notably stood on opposite sides as the previous tried to infiltrate The Judgment Day, much to the latter’s disapproval. In between, Priest admittedly broke character at times resulting from Truth’s comedic actions and words. Based on Priest’s latest comments, plainly remains to be the case even now as on-screen allies.
