Logan Paul has addressed the reaction to his recent injury. He delivered a pointed message to critics who have been celebrating his absence from WWE television.
The RAW star is expected to miss several months after suffering a torn triceps during a World Tag Team Championship defense alongside Austin Theory.
While the injury has temporarily halted what appeared to be a promising run, Paul made it clear that he isn’t planning to stay down for long.
Logan Paul fires back at critics following injury setback
Speaking on a recent YouTube video titled I’m Not Coming Back, Paul reflected on the response from fans who were pleased to see him sidelined.
“I always think about like are the haters like… Yeah. Yeah. I like I’m so happy that he got injured,” Paul said. “Bro, I get it. If you don’t like me, obviously you’re going to pray on my downfall.”
Rather than taking aim at his critics, Paul suggested they should enjoy the situation while it lasts.
“For all the haters out there praying on my downfall, enjoy it. Soak it up. You got 6 months to soak it up,” he stated. “But I want you to know I’m locking in in a way that people would never expect ever.”
Paul then doubled down on his confidence, promising a stronger version of himself upon his return.
“I’m going to come back with a vengeance better than ever,” he said. “During this six months, I’m going to do things in life that will only help me win more, which will piss off the haters even more. So, if I were y’all, I’d be scared.”
The injury occurred during a successful World Tag Team Championship defense against The Street Profits at Saturday Night’s Main Event. According to Paul, the setback arrived just as he felt momentum was building for his partnership with Austin Theory.
“I felt like me and Austin had so much momentum and we were about to go on a generational tag team run,” Paul said, adding that he was in “the best shape” of his life before the injury changed his plans.
For now, Bron Breakker has stepped into Paul’s spot alongside Theory, while Paul begins what appears to be a lengthy recovery. If his latest comments are any indication, however, The Maverick plans to make sure this injury timeout doesn’t become a permanent count-out.
