Logan Paul reveals brutal injury after surgery that will ‘stop him wrestling for six months’
Logan Paul has revealed images of a gnarly-looking scar after recently undergoing surgery that could see him out of the ring for six months.
The YouTuber-turned-WWE-star was left injured after taking part in the World Tag Team Championship match on Saturday 23 May.
Paul and teammate Austin Theory took on Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford.
Although Paul and Theory were declared the winners, during the match he injured his arm after Dawkins landed on him awkwardly, and could be seen holding his left arm.

In a new update on Instagram, Paul confirmed that he tore his tricep in the match and has since undergone surgery.
Ouch.
He also revealed that the injury and resultant surgery will take around six months to properly heal.
Despite his injury, Paul appeared pretty chipper and joked that he reckoned he could be back in the wrestling ring in ‘a couple of weeks’ if he drank his brand's Prime Shake protein drinks.
“Tore my tricep, got surgery while wide awake, told doc I wanna feel it all,” he wrote.
“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 @drinkprime shake.”
The post contained a slew of images, including one showing Paul’s new scar running right across the elbow, and another of him lying in a hospital ahead of his surgery.
Fans of the wrestler have since commented on the post to send their good wishes for a speedy recovery and told him to ‘get well soon’.
But a fast recovery seems unlikely; during Monday Night Raw, WWE announcer Michael Cole announced that Paul is expected to miss ‘a number of months’ as he heals and attends rehab for his injury.
While Paul is out of action, Theory will team up with Bron Breakker to continue defending their belts.
Theory appeared to be delighted with the news of his new tag team mate, but also vowed to take out ‘every single person that was involved in hurting’ Paul.
In his post Paul told Breakker and Theory to 'keep that title warm' for him until he's fit and well enough to return to the ring.
