Logan Paul finally explained how his torn triceps injury happened, and it came during the closing moments of his Saturday Night’s Main Event match.
While speaking on his vlog, Paul revealed that his torn triceps happened during his WWE World Tag Team Title match at Saturday Night’s Main Event. He said the injury took place when Angelo Dawkins landed awkwardly on him near the end of the match, causing Paul’s arm to get trapped underneath his body: “Dawkins. When Dawkins jumped on me. My arm got kind of caught here, like pinched.”
Paul then explained that he was positioned too far back when he caught Dawkins, which caused the landing to go wrong. Instead of Dawkins rolling over him cleanly, Paul said the impact folded his body onto itself.
“I was too far back, so when I caught him, he didn’t like roll over me. He kind of landed on me and I folded onto myself.”
The update comes after Paul previously confirmed on Instagram that he underwent surgery for the torn triceps and shared photos showing his stitches. He also revealed that he was awake during the procedure and wanted to feel everything: “Tore my tricep, got surgery while wide awake, told doc I wanna feel it all.” Doctors told Paul he could be facing a six-month recovery, but he immediately pushed back on that timeline and claimed he expects to return much sooner.
“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.”
This comes after Michael Cole announced on the May 25 episode of Monday Night RAW from the Schottenstein Center in Columbus, Ohio, that Paul tore his triceps at Saturday Night’s Main Event and would be out for several months.
Paul’s injury left Austin Theory without his usual tag team partner, leading Paul Heyman to state that Theory would defend the titles alongside Bron Breakker because The Vision was booked as champion and the titles were not restricted to specific members.
Logan Paul may be sidelined, but he is already making it clear he does not plan to be gone quietly. Now that he has explained exactly how the injury happened, the only question is whether his recovery will actually be as fast as he claims.
Do you think Logan Paul can beat the six-month recovery timeline, or should WWE move on with Austin Theory and Bron Breakker for now? Please share your thoughts and feedback in the comments.
