Logan Paul Apologizes To CM Punk After Suffering Tricep Tear, Reveals When the Injury Happened

As previously reported, WWE Superstar Logan Paul suffered a torn tricep injury that he had to undergo surgery to repair. Paul discussed the injury during the latest edition of his IMPAULSIVE podcast. While discussing the injury, Logan Paul personally apologized to fellow WWE Superstar CM Punk, who has also suffered a torn tricep injury.

Paul noted that he insulted Punk when he suffered the same injury before, and now understands how “horrible” it is to tear your tricep. The wrestler also revealed when the injury occurred during The Vision’s title defense against The Street Profits at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event. Below are some highlights (via WrestlingNews.co):

Logan Paul on CM Punk

“When CM Punk tore his tricep, I just thought he was a major *****. I cut a promo about it. I’m like, you tore your little tricep. I remember thinking the dude tore his tricep. How was he out for six months? How bad could it be? It’s a ****ing tricep. It’s horrible.”

On What Caused the Injury

“A nearly 300-pound Dawkins comes flying over the ropes. He lands on me. My arm is flexed and trying to catch him landing on the ground, and too much weight, too much tension. I could feel the tendon snap off the elbow. It came from the bottom of the tricep. It detached here and in the shoulder. I’ve been injured so many times, I knew immediately. I said, ‘I tore my tricep.’ And he looks at me, we’re still working, and he looks at me, he’s like, ‘Are you f*cking serious?’ I’m like, ‘Yeah, yeah, yeah.’”

On What He Told Bron Breakker After He Hurt His Arm

“I go, ‘I hurt my arm, I hurt my arm, I hurt my arm.’ And he takes a second. I’m like, ‘Please careful, careful.’ And then he slowly raises it up, and it was fine, but in that moment I was like, ‘Bro, my partner’s about to rip my fcking arm.’ It was the last move that I was a part of in the match. The last fcking thing. I hit this move right, I’m going home.”

On Being Depressed Over the Injury

“I’m gonna be honest with you guys, that and many other little things about this injury has put me in a pretty mentally stuck spot. It’s depressing, bro. I just don’t know how else to say it. And I’m not the depression guy. You guys know I’m pretty gung-ho and happy about life. Every day is a little better, but I’m struggling. I’ll be honest with you.”

On His Team With Austin Theory Losing Momentum

“I felt like me and Austin had so much momentum, and we were about to go on a generational tag team run. I’m in the best shape of my life ever. My whole business is firing on all cylinders. Everything is just firing. And then I’m just thrown this curveball during the last move of this match, and now the next six months of my life look drastically different, and I cannot see the silver lining yet.”

On His Recovery

“I need 7 to 14 days to be a sad, miserable complainer, and then I’m going to get on my horse and kick this recovery. We’re on day six out of surgery. When people ask me how I’m doing, at least now my response is, ‘I’m okay. I’m alive. Let’s start there.’ Basically, the rest of my body’s healthy. I’m good. All things considered, God willing, it’s going to be okay.”

Logan Paul on His Eventual Return

“I know my return to the WWE will be glorious, like actually glorious. And I’m going to come back bigger and stronger than ever before and hopefully go on that generational run and become the superstar that I know I can be.”

As noted, Paul’s injury will likely require a recovery time of about six months.
