Logan Paul undergoes triceps surgery, gives timeline for WWE return
Doctors have given Logan Paul a six-month recovery time, but he’s hoping to make it back to a WWE ring much sooner than that.
Paul sent out a social media post today revealing that he has undergone surgery after suffering a torn triceps last weekend at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event. The injury happened during a match where Paul & Austin Theory successfully defended their World Tag Team titles against The Street Profits. Despite this injury, The Vision will remain champions with Bron Breakker filling in for Paul.
Optimistically, Paul wrote that he wants to return in only a couple of weeks.
“Tore my tricep, got surgery while wide awake, told doc I wanna feel it all. Still the Tag Team champ just FYI,” he posted on Instagram. “They’re telling me 6 month recovery but I don’t believe them, I’ll be back in a couple weeks with some @drinkprime shake (32g protein). Good news I can still rip packs bc @ripit about to launch. Keep that title warm for me @wwe @austin_theory @paulheyman @bronbreakkerwwe. @bronsonishere let’s hang out.”
Breakker is only a few weeks removed from his own injury layoff. He was forced to undergo hernia surgery on the road to WrestleMania 42 but returned at the event itself.
Logan Paul’s injury —
On Raw, it was said that Paul’s injury happened near the end of the SNME match while taking a dive from Dawkins. Michael Cole said on commentary that Paul would be out of action for months.
Theory avenged his tag team partner by attacking Dawkins on Raw and also assaulting Joe Hendry, who was performing a concert mocking Paul.
Unbelievable… 😱
