Logan Paul has addressed suffering a torn tricep injury during his championship match at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event.
Following Paul and Austin Theory defending their WWE World Tag Team Championship against The Street Profits on May 23, WWE announced that Paul will be on the shelf for “a number of months” due to a torn tricep injury.
Speaking on his ImPaulsive podcast, Logan Paul explained what happened from his point of view, stating:
“What had happened was, I was on the outside, a nearly 300 pound (Angelo) Dawkins comes flying over the ropes. He lands on me, my arm is flexed and trying to catch him. Too much weight, too much tension, I could feel the tendons snap off the elbow.
“I’ve been injured so many times, I knew immediately. You can hear, listen closely to when it happens, you can hear me, I’m not selling like a wrestler, that’s real pain. I knew in that moment, I’m f**ked.”

When questioned about having his arm raised at the end of the match, Paul stated that he told Austin Theory and Bron Breakker about his suspected injury while they were in the ring, noting:
“I told Austin when we were in the ring, ‘I tore my tricep.’ He looks at me – we’re still working – like ‘Are you f**king serious?’ ‘Yeah, yeah, yeah.’ Then Bron Breakker goes to raise our arms because we had just won the match.
“I go ‘I hurt my arm! I hurt my arm! I hurt my arm! Please, careful, careful.’ He takes a second and then he slowly raises it up, and it was fine, but in that moment I was like ‘Bro, my partner’s about to rip my f**king arm more than it already is.'”

Following Bron Breakker’s hernia earlier this year, Bronson Reed’s own torn bicep injury, and Seth Rollins’ shoulder injury which resulted in him being written off TV by Breakker attacking him in October, some fans believe that the Vision faction is cursed with all these injuries.
Addressing the curse talk, Logan Paul responded:
“That’s one of the most disappointing parts about it, it was the last move I was a part of in the match. It was the last f**king thing, I hit this move right and I’m going home.
“By the way, I am still the champ, I just don’t have the hardware to prove it. It doesn’t matter, because guess what? The Vision are still tag team champions.
“The people are saying The Vision is cursed, you’re cursed, Danhausen! Bro, The Vision is not cursed. Bron Breakker is indestructible, minus the hernia. Austin Theory has been working for years.
