WWE star and social media sensation Logan Paul revealed in a recent vlog that he suffered broken ribs during his tag team match at the inaugural two-night WWE SummerSlam 2025 Premium Live Event (PLE). Teaming with Drew McIntyre on Night One, Paul helped secure a win over WWE legend Randy Orton and music artist Jelly Roll, who made an impressive WWE in-ring debut. Despite the injury, Paul appeared energized about his role in WWE and openly challenged WWE Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque to bring more celebrities and influencers into the wrestling fold for future high-profile matchups[1][2][4].

In his detailed vlog shared on his YouTube channel, Logan Paul recounted the physical toll of the SummerSlam bout.

It’s my era, I ain’t going to let that sht slide again, I swear to god,” Paul stated. “Yo, Triple H, wherever you are, even if you’re standing right next to me, I don’t give a damn, bro. Whatever, send all the celebrities, all the influencers. I don’t give a damn, I will eradicate all of them.” His words signal a desire to elevate the profile of celebrity integrations in WWE moving forward, building on the momentum created by his SummerSlam involvement[1][2].
