He returned to be part of the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royale at WrestleMania 34, but his former tag team partner, Goldust, eliminated him.
He finally made his debut in SmackDown Live after being drafted there in the Superstar Shakeup and faced Samoa Joe. Joe defeated him with the Coquina Clutch, making his first bout back a loss.
The heart of the matter
R-Truth's shoulder injury was of a serious nature, where he had floating bones in his shoulder. The injury is reportedly only caused due to extreme trauma to the shoulder.

WWE wrestlers put their bodies through a lot of trauma, taking bumps regularly, which results in a lot of wear and tear. Thankfully for Truth, the surgery was successful, and he displayed his athleticism in the ring during his return.
What's next?
Samoa Joe is set to face AJ Styles at SummerSlam for the WWE Championship on the 19th of August. R-Truth currently is not involved in any feud and will continue to wrestle on SmackDown Live until the creative team can come up with a storyline for him.
