WWE Superstar Logan Paul addressed his recent injury.
Earlier this month, during the main event of the June 7 edition of Money in the Bank PLE, Logan Paul and John Cena teamed up to face the duo of Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso. However, while Cena’s team almost snatched the victory, it was R-Truth’s shocking return that helped Rhodes and Uso get the win.
Unfortunately, the closing stages of the match also saw The Maverick suffer a concerning shin injury. While executing a Springboard Moonsault onto Jey Uso through the announcer’s table, Paul suffered a severe injury, resulting in a hematoma on his shin.
During the latest vlog on his YouTube channel, Paul shared more details on his injury and recovery phase:
So here’s an update on my shin, my hematoma: It’s f*cking great to be honest. The swelling has dispersed itself and it really hurts to touch, but structurally, it’s all good and let me tell you something I realized about that move [Springboard Moonsault], I don’t want to give anything away, but I’m going to say something: I could do that f*cking move again, bro. That move is devastating, for both me and the person I land on. But I will do it again when the time is right. So WWE fans, just know… I’m just warming up.”

We at ITR Wrestling wish Logan Paul a safe and steady recovery.
Still recovering from the unfortunate accident, there are currently no confirmed updates on the former United States Champion’s return.
Drew McIntyre Impressed With Logan Paul’s WWE Journey
A YouTuber turned boxer and pro-wrestler, Logan Paul quickly made his mark in the wrestling industry within just months of his debut in 2022. Earlier this year, former World Champion Drew McIntyre heaped praise on Logan Paul during an episode of the WAFFLIN’ podcast:
Yeah. I mean, it’s hard to, to knock him. He’s come from a different world and made a name for himself, just like yourself, Joe. Had a dream, but sometimes we’ve had people come in who have similar thoughts and they’ve absolutely shat the bed and they couldn’t handle the pressure and they realize, Oh no, playing fighting with my buddies and my teddy bears wasn’t quite going to cut it. with somebody like Logan, he came in and every single match, he’s absolutely smashed it.
Clearly he doesn’t do his freaking research, especially with someone like Drew McIntyre, I’ve been with him for 25 years and we held the company together when everything was shutting down in the pandemic. That’s okay, Logan, I’ll batter you at some point. We get a one-on-one match, I’m going to chop you to freaking pieces. But he gets it. You can see the difference with somebody that gets and doesn’t, and it doesn’t even matter how long you do it for.
Some people just never figure it out. There’s a difference between those who do the moves well and do the matches well. Those that have it, and those that feel different, those that become superstars, and I always say it’s just in their eyes. You can tell just looking at somebody’s eyes. If they’re present, they’re in the moment, they know exactly what they’re doing, especially between the moves. From the beginning, when Logan walks out, he knows exactly who he is.
The pressure doesn’t get to him. He does the moves and stuff he does the he wants to do stunts and stuff. Good for him. That gets like a nice little viral reaction, what he’s looking for. But the stuff in between, when you see him just stand there and posture to the crowd, you can see in his eyes that’s somebody who knows who he is.
He’s in the moment, he’s present to the particular situation, whatever’s happening at that time, whatever his opponent’s giving him, whatever the crowd are giving him. He’s not thinking about the stupid words he had to memorize. He’s actively just going what feels right because he knows exactly who Logan Paul is and that’s what separates wrestlers from the superstars.”
