Logan Paul Sidelined for Months After Torn Triceps

WWE used a Vision contract clause to keep the World Tag Team Championships in the stable and named Bron Breakker to replace Paul on title defenses.

Overview

  • Broadcasters replayed the May 23 Saturday Night’s Main Event tag match and WWE confirmed on Monday Night Raw that Paul tore his triceps during the bout and will be out for a number of months.
  • Commentator Michael Cole delivered the official update on Raw and Paul later posted that doctors told him a six-month recovery was likely after surgery.
  • Paul Heyman cited a contract provision that lets any Vision member defend the World Tag Team Championships and chose Bron Breakker to team with Austin Theory going forward.
  • On Raw, Theory advanced the storyline by attacking Joe Hendry and Angelo Dawkins with a steel chair, positioning The Vision to continue the feud without Paul.
  • The Vision has lost multiple members to injury recently, which limits the stable’s options and creates short-term booking pressure for WWE as Paul rehabs and the company schedules title defenses.
