Overview
- Paul tore his left tricep during a ringside dive and underwent surgery in May, which WWE says will require a roughly six-month recovery period.
- He has made on-screen appearances for Monday Night RAW and discussed the injury on his Impaulsive podcast, where he called the recovery long but personally manageable because he is right-handed.
- WWE used the Freebird rule to allow another Vision member to replace Paul on tag defenses so the team could continue as champions during his absence.
- Bron Breakker stepped into Paul’s role alongside Austin Theory, but The Street Profits defeated that pairing on RAW this week to reclaim the World Tag Team Championship.
- The situation shows WWE’s emphasis on storyline continuity through roster substitutions and keeps open several booking paths for Paul once he finishes rehabilitation.
