Roman Reigns successfully defended his Undisputed WWE Universal Championship against the YouTube sensation Logan Paul in the headlining match at WWE Crown Jewel Premium Live Event ins Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Logan certainly garnered some more fans after showcasing some great moves inside the ring. He exceeded the expectations of the fans and took The Tribal Chief to his limits. At one point, ‘The Maverick’ hit a Frog Splash from the top rope through the announcers’ table on Reigns. However, that came at the cost of multiple injuries. Paul recently took to his Instagram story section and posted a picture. He revealed that the doctor told him that’s what his knee looks like. Paul also posted a video of himself in rehab for his injury, as he will rehab it before undergoing surgery.
Following the match, ‘The Maverick’ tweeted that he suffered a torn meniscus, MCL, and potentially his ACL as well. However, Dave Meltzer noted during his latest Wrestling Observer Radio that they still don’t know if he has a torn ACL, because they haven’t had it looked at by a doctor yet. He also further stated, although Logan Paul will be out for a while given his other injuries, a torn ACL would certainly keep him out longer.
This puts Paul on a recovery timeline where he will miss WrestleMania 39. According to the Mayo Clinic, healing from an ACL tear often takes six to nine months. Depending on the severity, it can take anywhere between six weeks and three months to mend a torn meniscus. Seth Rollins’ situation can be used as an illustration. On November 4th, 2015, the multiple-time champion sustained a comparable injury when competing against Kane at a live event in Dublin, Ireland. Rollins’ injury necessitated surgery, and it is anticipated that he would be sidelined for six to nine months. However, Rollins had recovered quickly and competed in Extreme Rules in May of the following year. Logan Paul is expected to be fully recovered before the start of SummerSlam 2023.
