Logan Paul wants to get back into the wrestling ring next a torn triceps kept him out of competition for several months. Unfortunately for him, he still has a while before that happens.
In him latest vlog Paul announced that he was “tired of being sidelined” with his injury, prompting longtime WWE producer Michael Hayes to break the news that he will stay that way until November at best.
“You’re not cleared until at least November. That came from Bruce (Pritchard) and Paul (Levesque), Hayes told The Maverick. (They don’t know) anything (about the injury to the triggle). They just asked the doctors.”
Ignoring Hayes’ words, Paul turned further Bruce Pritchard, executive director of WWE’s creative writing teamclaiming that “Dr. Hayes” had medically ordered him to do whatever he wanted physically. Pritchard immediately shut Paul down, saying: “He’s not a doctor, he doesn’t even play on TV. Simply put, you are not cleansed.”
“Yeah, we’ll see about that,” Paul then remarked as Pritchard left.
The WWE star tore his collarbone while defending the WWE World Tag Team Championship at Saturday Night’s Main Event in May. According to Paul. The injury occurred when Angelo Dawkins flew over the ring ropes and landed on top of him as he tried to grab a member of The Street Profits with a bent arm. Paul hasn’t wrestled since the May 23 event, though he did return to WWE television to support his Vision feud in the meantime.
