Love him or hate him, there’s no denying that Logan Paul is extremely dedicated to his work in the WWE and that Paul has developed into one of the company’s standout talents.
Given his various other revenue streams, his massive following, and his impressive business acumen, it would have been easy for Paul to show up on WWE television whenever he felt like it and then disappear for weeks at a time.
Instead, Paul has been on WWE Monday Night Raw seemingly every week for the last year and has held down the main event scene on the show.
“I was born to wrestle,” Paul told Sports Illustrated. “I truly believe that. … Every single skillset that I’ve garnered throughout the entirety of my life has culminated into this insane balance of ability that is the WWE, from the showmanship to the storytelling to the improv and intuition that comes with being a wrestler, to the physicality.”
That is, until he suffered a gruesome torn tricep in a recent tag team match on WWE’s Saturday Night Main Event.
WWE Stripped Logan Paul Of Tag Title Immediately After Injury
Paul, who is one-half of the World Tag Team Champions with Austin Theory, suffered the injury in a match against the Street Profits when he tried to jump over the top rope.
In a new video on his YouTube page, Paul showed the fallout of the injury, which he knew occurred immediately. The video includes footage of a WWE staff member taking Paul’s title belt from him just minutes after the match ended and before he could even get proper medical attention!
Talk about kicking a man when he’s down.
Paul has already undergone surgery to repair the tricep in his left arm, which he documented via a gruesome photo on his Instagram account. The timetable for his return from injury is somewhere in the area of six months, which would be about the time of WWE’s Survivor Series show in late November.
Here’s hoping Paul is able to make a full recovery, and he when he doesn, he’ll undoubtedly be right back in the main event scene with the company.
