Logan Paul, recovering from a torn triceps, has received a firm message from WWE officials regarding his return to wrestling. After declaring himself 'semi-cleared' for action on his vlog, WWE's Michael Hayes, Bruce Prichard, and Paul 'Triple H' Levesque advised him that he would not be booked for any physical activity until at least November. This advice was reinforced by WWE's orthopedic surgeon Dr. Jeffrey Dugas, who emphasized the need for rehabilitation and warned against early clearance. Paul attempted to negotiate earlier clearance but was informed that rushing the process could jeopardize his long-term career.

"Since tearing his triceps in May at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event, Logan Paul’s been teasing a comeback on his long-running vlog. That including declaring himself “semi-cleared” less than three months post-surgery. Those teases are officially over. On the latest episode of Paul’s vlog, WWE producers Michael Hayes & Bruce Prichard and their boss Paul “Triple H” Levesque make it clear that they won’t be booking Logan for anything physical for at least a couple more months. That news first came from Hayes, who told LP: “You’re not cleared until at least November. This came from Bruce and Paul.” Not satisfied, the former United States champion first lobbied physical therapist extraordinaire Kevin Wilks, who told him he’d need more time. Paul then marched to Triple H’s office, and the CCO just happened to be meeting with WWE’s star orthopedic surgeon Dr. Jeffrey Dugas. With The Game watching on, Dugas told Logan if he doesn’t rehab for at least five-and-a-half months, he’s risking his future. The doctor said: “The biology of what’s happening in that elbow is not ready to be cleared… The risk outweighs the benefit. You’re in this for a long haul. You’ve got a career here we gotta think about.” The Maverick tried to negotiate with Dugas like he was buying a Pokemon card, but no dice. Bummed we’ve got at least a couple more months before Logan Paul can wrestle again? Non-plussed? Sound off below.
