Logan Paul Undergoes Surgery After Torn Tricep Injury, Promises Early WWE Return

Logan Paul is facing another setback in WWE, but if you ask him, he won’t be gone for long.

Following WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event, Paul revealed that he suffered a torn tricep during the show and has already undergone surgery to repair the injury. Despite doctors reportedly giving him a recovery timeline of around six months, the former United States Champion is already predicting a much faster comeback.

Paul shared the update on Instagram, where he posted photos from the hospital along with footage of the moment the injury occurred. According to Paul, he even stayed awake during the procedure.

“Tore my tricep, got surgery while wide awake,” Paul wrote. “They’re telling me 6 month recovery but I don’t believe them.”

In typical Logan Paul fashion, the WWE star mixed the injury update with some humor and promotion for his outside ventures, while also reminding fans that he remains one-half of the World Tag Team Champions alongside Austin Theory.

The injury reportedly happened during a chaotic ringside sequence involving Angelo Dawkins of The Street Profits. Dawkins landed awkwardly onto Paul on the floor outside the ring, and the spot appears to have caused the tricep tear that will now sideline him indefinitely.

WWE later confirmed the injury on Monday Night Raw, noting that Paul is expected to miss several months of in-ring action while recovering from surgery.

Even with Paul out, Austin Theory is still officially recognized as a tag team champion. On Raw, Paul Heyman reassured Theory that the titles remain with “The Vision,” signaling that WWE may keep the championship situation intact until Paul is medically cleared.

This latest injury comes at a time when Paul had continued building momentum as one of WWE’s most high-profile crossover stars. Since joining WWE, he has consistently impressed fans and critics alike with his athleticism and willingness to take risks inside the ring — sometimes at the expense of his own body.

Whether Paul can actually beat the projected recovery timeline remains to be seen, but based on his comments, he clearly has no intention of staying away from WWE any longer than necessary.

Logan Paul Returns At WWE Raw-Netflix Event, Wants A World Title

Logan Paul is back in WWE, and he’s not holding back. Despite teasing retirement after becoming a father, the former United States Champion made a bold return at WWE Raw’s Netflix launch event at WWE headquarters on Wednesday. Paul’s comeback aligns with the red brand’s major move to Netflix, which is set to kick off on January 6.

In typical Logan Paul fashion, the social media sensation-turned-wrestler didn’t shy away from stirring the pot. In a fiery video posted to WWE’s official X account, Paul made it clear that he’s gunning for a top spot and doesn’t plan to ask for anyone’s approval.

“I see the narrative online that I’m a bully,” Paul admitted. “And guess what? I am a bully, and WWE is my playground. I’m not here to take part—I’m here to take over.”

Paul didn’t stop there. With his trademark confidence, he sent a warning to the entire WWE roster, vowing to dominate and take whatever he wants. “Your approval means nothing to me,” Paul said. “Because you’re still watching—and you will stay watching—because you are a spectator, and I am a star. I promise everyone watching: you’re looking at the future WWE World Champion, and his name is Logan Paul.”

Paul’s last WWE appearance was at SummerSlam in his hometown of Cleveland, Ohio, where he fell short against LA Knight in a United States Championship match. Before that, he also lost to Knight in a Money in the Bank qualifying match and came up short against Cody Rhodes at King and Queen of the Ring. Despite those setbacks, Paul seems more determined than ever to climb to the top of WWE.

With Raw heading to Netflix and Paul’s bold declaration to capture a world title, one thing is certain: Logan Paul’s presence in WWE will be impossible to ignore. The question now is, can he back up his words and finally claim championship gold at the very top of the mountain?

Logan Paul Injured At Crown Jewel, Severity Of Injuries Still Unclear

At WWE Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia, Logan Paul unsuccessfully challenged Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns in the YouTuber’s third match.

Following the match, Logan informed fans that he suffered several injuries in the bout, including a torn meniscus, MCL and possibly a torn ACL.

The severity of Logan Paul’s injury he suffered at WWE Crown Jewel 2022 is still unclear as he is yet to get thoroughly examined.

On the latest episode of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer reported that Logan is yet to get fully checked out.

“I got one message where they said that they didn’t know if he tore his ACL, but again, he hasn’t had it looked at. At first, he thought he did, but we’ll probably know more in a day or two. So, it may not be as bad, but it could be.”

If Paul has torn his ACL as feared, it will likely keep him out of the ring for a minimum six months.
