Logan Paul posted a series of graphic photos after having surgery to repair a torn tricep suffered in a WWE match.
“Tore my tricep, got surgery while wide awake, told doc I wanna feel it all,” Paul, 31, claimed via Instagram on Wednesday, May 27. “Still the Tag Team champ just FYI.”
The former YouTube star shared a carousel of pictures from pre and post-surgery, showing off a massive scar on his left arm.
Paul suffered the injury during a tag team title match against the Street Profits at WWE’s Saturday Night’s Main Event on Saturday, May 23, when the Street Profits’ Angelo Dawkins hit Paul with a flip to the outside of the ring.
“They’re telling me 6 month recovery but I don’t believe them, I’ll be back in a couple weeks,” Paul boasted. Jokes aside, Paul is expected to be out for roughly half-a-year.
Paul also managed to have a sense of humor about his scar, reposting one fan’s suggestion that it looked like an Uncrustable sandwich.
“Damn,” he wrote via his Instagram Story next to the side-by-side comparison.
Paul’s comments were filled with messages from supporters, including his younger brother, Jake Paul.
“Put some salt on it,” Jake, 29, joked.
WWE women’s champion Rhea Ripley wrote, “That’s CRAZY lookin!”
Logan and his tag team partner, Austin Theory, still managed to win their match against the Street Profits at Saturday Night’s Main Event, retaining their tag team titles.
Paul Heyman — who manages Logan, Theory, 28, Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed as The Vision — suggested the stable has a plan to keep Paul’s belt warm while he recovers.
“Logan Paul knows better than anyone else, this ain’t ballet,” Heyman, 60, told Theory Monday, May 25, on WWE Raw. “And when you and Logan Paul became the tag team champions, I put in every contract, ‘The Vision defending the tag team titles.’”
Heyman continued, “That means any member of The Vision teaming with any member of The Vision of my choice. Which means you are going to be the tag team champion with, oh, I don’t know, off the top of my head, Bron Breakker. And I expect the two of you to defend those titles with honor and dignity.”
Paul and Theory won the tag team titles after defeating the Usos in a Street Fight on March 30. It marked Paul’s second championship in WWE since making his in-ring debut in April 2022. Paul also won the United States Championship in November 2023, eventually losing it to LA Knight at SummerSlam in August 2024.
