YouTube sensation Logan Paul has finally returned to the WWE after being sidelined for almost three months. ‘The Maverick’ signed with the WWE after a lackluster boxing career but would flourish in professional wrestling. He made his in-ring debut with the Miz at WrestleMania and even faced him in SummerSlam a few months after. However, Paul would tear his ACL, MCL, and meniscus during his title fight against Roman Reigns at WWE’s Crown Jewel.

These injuries looked major and it was certain that Paul would not return for a long time. Moreover, during this time he was also subjected to a lot of controversies after his CryptoZoo project got exposed by CoffeeZilla. Paul received backlash following this, but he has since apologized and is trying to make things better for the investors. In addition, it seems that his injuries might have healed a little too soon as he made his surprise entry at the 2023 Royal Rumble.
