WWE Top Star Removed From WrestleMania 39

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. Following the match, ‘The Maverick’ tweeted that he suffered a torn meniscus, MCL, and potentially his ACL as well. This puts Paul on a recovery timeline where he will miss WrestleMania 39.

While speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer noted that Paul suffered the injury after performing the table stunt.

Logan Paul was not as lucky, he messed up his knee … It was the table spot, when he splashed through the table, from what I understand … He was great.

Logan Paul might miss WrestleMania 39 after injuries

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.
