Fans were left in stitches on Friday (22 Aug) after WWE star R-Truth revealed that he had flown to Dublin, Georgia instead of the Irish capital where his match was held.
As a result of his honest mistake, he had to miss his scheduled SmackDown match against Aleister Black.
As shown in a video uploaded by WWE on X, Aleister was waiting for his opponent’s appearance when R-Truth video-called and explained why he could not make it.
He had allegedly flown to a city called Dublin in the US state of Georgia, instead of Ireland.

The audience burst into laughter upon hearing the reason.
To make amends for his no-show, R-Truth called on his friend Damian Priest to face Aleister in his place.
According to Cageside Seats, a website dedicated to WWE stories, Aleister had a wild brawl with Damian two weeks earlier, prompting security staff to intervene.
One netizen expressed some disappointment, saying they wanted to see R-Truth win the match.
That said, they still enjoyed seeing Damian show up instead.
