During an interview with Peter Rosenberg, WWE star R-Truth discussed his torn quad injury that kept him out of action for most of 2023…
“I had a hole in my knee. I had five different bacteria that caused the infection along with MRSA, staff, and their cousins and kinfolks. It started off as a routine quad tear. I tore my bottom quad. They went in and I guess it could have happened during surgery. I went to get the stitches out and we found out that the bacteria, the infection, was eating from the inside out so that’s where the hole came from. The doctor said, ‘We gotta get this under control. If we can’t get this under control, I’m gonna have to think of options.’ He was straight shooting with me. He said, ‘You’re in the woods big time. We have to get this under control.’ It would not heal.”
“Then I had to go three months, I had to have a wound VAC on. It was a VAC on my knee that kept sucking the old blood up and putting the new blood, all that stuff, like I had to wear that for six weeks all along with a PICC line that I had to have for eight weeks. I did that, and once all that was over with, the stitches started coming out on their own. So I had stitches coming out of my knee by itself, so my body wasn’t agreeing to it so I had to get surgery for a third time and the infection was still there, so I had to get another PICC line as well. It was a good four months or five months of just trying to kill the infection, slow it down, stop it, and I’m going mentally crazy because there was a chance, he said, the other option was amputation. You know what I’m saying? So to go from doing the 24/7 stuff, running around, doing things with my kids, to NXT, me and Grayson Waller tearing it down and doing things to stopping and then getting told this? It was a big reality check man. It was a pump the brakes moment.” (quotes courtesy of WrestlingNews.co)

Not even including the fact of potential amputation, this had to be hell to live through. Having an infection that bad and being on all of those antibiotics had to be unbelievably painful and make him feel beyond sick.
And you would never know it because Ron Killings is so positive and such a pro.
So glad he is OK now. Love this guy!

Never really heard any news about him during his time healing. Comes back, then a few months later, oh yeah, that time I was away, the doctors had to consider cutting my leg off.
