Backstage news on Logan Paul's status after getting injured at WWE Crown Jewel 2022 - Reports
Logan Paul has grabbed all the headlines following WWE Crown Jewel as he, unfortunately, injured his knee during his match against Roman Reigns. Dave Meltzer provided an update on Paul's WWE status and noted that the superstar is yet to undergo medical testing to determine the extent of his injury.
The popular YouTuber pushed Roman Reigns to his limits in the longest match on the Crown Jewel card, and he's rightfully earned the respect of the WWE Universe for his star-making performance.
Logan Paul took to social media following his title match and revealed that he'd torn his ACL and MCL knee ligaments and might have also suffered a meniscus tear.
As revealed during the latest Wrestling Observer Radio, WWE officials initially believed Logan Paul hadn't seriously hurt himself during his Crown Jewel match. While the 27-year-old star is yet to get his knee checked, he is still expected to spend some time on the sidelines, as noted below by Meltzer:
"He [Logan Paul] said I think it was the last Instagram thing that he tore his MCL and meniscus, right? I know I got one message where they thought he didn't tear his ACL, but again, he hasn't had it looked at. I think at first he thought he did, but I mean, we will probably know more in a day or two. So, it may not be as bad, but it could be. The torn ACL could keep him out for, you know, over six months. The other one, you know, he'd still be out for a while." [From 8:30 to 9:17]
