Logan Paul is out of action due to injury.
‘The Maverick’ Logan Paul has been out of in-ring action since the May 23, 2026, edition of Saturday Night’s Main Event in Fort Wayne, Indiana, where he sustained an injury.
Paul, along with his Vision stablemate Austin Theory, defended the World Tag Team titles against the Street Profits. However, during the match, Dawkins took a dive from the ropes on Logan, who was ringside, and ended up crashing on Logan’s extended arm.
Paul suffered a torn left triceps tendon injury, but despite the injury, he has been making appearances on television with an arm brace, even helping his Vision stablemates in matches.
Paul is also active on social media, as he recently made some observations about football (soccer for U.S fans) amid the ongoing FIFA World Cup 2026.
Football has found a new fan in Logan Paul
Logan Paul recently made a long and detailed post on X (Twitter) following Colombia’s penalty-shootout victory over Switzerland in the FIFA World Cup Round of 16 last night, with Colombia advancing to the quarterfinals after a tense 0–0 draw.
While admitting that he has never been a soccer (football) fan, Logan said that he has watched most of the ongoing FIFA World Cup 2026 and has been amazed by the game. Paul also listed his observations in the tweet.
“I’ve never been a Soccer fan but WOW I’ve watched most of the tournament and this World Cup has amazed me. Here are some things I’ve realized about the sport:”
The Maverick further added, noting that football is an extremely physical sport where players need exceptional toughness and durability to succeed.
He also made comparisons with pro-wrestling, noting how some footballers are better at selling injuries than some of his WWE peers. Many football players fake or exaggerate injuries to score potential foul plays, which can give them a chance of getting a free kick, a penalty, or even getting the opposing player sent off with a red card.
“1.) Soccer is wildly physical. These players push, shove, and beat the shit out of each other & a lot of it goes unnoticed by the refs. You gotta be extremely durable to thrive on the pitch
2.) So much theater. These guys sell being “hurt” better than some of my peers in the WWE”
Paul also noted that the event might be the closest thing to world unity, adding that the stage makes superstars and changes careers forever on the world’s biggest stage.
“5.) This event may be the closest thing to world unity. All eyes on these athletes on the biggest stage in the world. Superstars are made. Careers forever changed”
