Logan Paul Shows Off Gnarly Scar After Undergoing Tricep Surgery

WWE superstar Logan Paul will be sidelined from in-ring competition for the foreseeable future.

Paul suffered a torn tricep this past weekend at WWE Saturday Night's Main Event. He was defending the World Tag Team Championships alongside Austin Theory. Unfortunately for the charismatic wrestler, his injury required a serious procedure this week.

On Wednesday afternoon, Paul provided an update on his tricep injury. Unsurprisingly, he'll be sporting a nasty scar until further notice.

"Tore my tricep, got surgery while wide awake, told doc I wanna feel it all," Paul wrote on X. "Still the Tag Team champ just FYI. They're telling me 6 month recovery but I don't believe them, I'll be back in a couple weeks with some PRIME shake (32g protein)."

It's worth noting the second image that Paul shared was made with AI, per his post on X.

While no one is denying Paul's toughness, we highly doubt doctors repaired his tricep as he was awake on the operating table.

What'll happen to the tag team titles?

WWE manager Paul Heyman suggested that Austin Theory could defend the tag team titles with Bron Breakker until further notice.

"Logan Paul knows better than anyone else, this ain't ballet," Heyman said, via Bleacher Report. "And when you and Logan Paul became the tag team champions, I put in every contract, 'The Vision defending the tag team titles.' 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."

Hopefully, Paul will beat his six-month recovery timeline. If not, he may have to wait to return at the Royal Rumble in January.
