It is safe to say that YouTube sensation Logan Paul is happy with his transition from online content creation to professional wrestling. Moreover, ‘The Maverick’ is currently signed with the top pro wrestling promotion in the world, the WWE. Paul has also proven his worth as a wrestler showcasing some very impressive performances since his in-ring debut in last year’s WrestleMania. The American YouTuber has also gained quite a few fans in the wrestling world, although one could argue that his image outside the ring needs a bit of work.

Paul was recently under heavy fire after his CryptoZoo project was deconstructed in a three-part video by CoffeeZilla. The video dove into how Paul and his co-workers were not delivering on the game while scamming investors. Since then Paul was under fire which changed after he made an appearance at this year’s Royal Rumble. In addition, it seems like Paul will continue wrestling for some time and is also quite dedicated to it.

‘The Maverick’ was one of the first influencers who familiarised boxing in the community. He, along with British YouTuber KSI faced off in a boxing match back in 2018, ending in a draw. However, ‘The Nightmare’ would get the better of Paul in their rematch a year later. Things were already looking grim for his boxing career until he got a chance to face the legendary Floyd Mayweather Jr.

The bout was an exhibition with no judges, therefore no winner was announced for that fight. Paul would then suffer from a devastating hand injury in a bar in Germany, which would cause his boxing career to end abruptly. Despite this, he successfully transitioned into WWE, where he suffered another gruesome injury back in 2022. He tore his MCL, ACL, and meniscuses during his title bout with Roman Reigns at WWE Crown Jewel. Moreover, it seems that his injuries have become a common theme after he showed off his latest scar on social media

The YouTuber recently posted a picture on his Instagram story showcasing a scar on his back. According to Paul, this injury was due to skipping as the rope hit him on the back leaving a mark. “Got hit by the jump rope,” he wrote. This was a little odd as Paul is exceptionally skilled when it comes to jumping rope, and posting highlight reels of the same. In addition, this also highlights some of the dangers that can come while even doing something as trivial as skipping.
