Logan Paul’s Risky Moonsault Leads to Serious Shin Injury
Coming off the WWE Money In The Bank 2025 event, Logan Paul detailed how his ambitious springboard moonsault onto Jey Uso not only captivated the crowd but left him nursing a painful hematoma on his shin. Paul shared that he initially pitched the risky move to John Cena during match planning, which was met with skepticism from the WWE legend.
“Dude, I’m good besides this hematoma on my shin. Yeah, it’s getting worked up,”

“It’s before the match and I’m telling John Cena, ‘Hey, I’d like to fit this spot.’ He looks at me and he goes, ‘You can’t make that jump,’ and I go, ‘I swear to God I can,’ and dude, John’s the best. But in full sincerity, he goes, ‘You can’t make that jump,’ and I’m like, ‘Okay, buddy!’”

This exchange highlighted Cena’s mix of playful doubt and genuine concern, but Paul was determined to take on the physical challenge despite the risks. The hazardous landing left him questioning the extent of his injuries.
“I found out no one — successfully? Not so much (has done the move) — but believed I could make that jump. It was well-executed and I’m f**king alive. But it was a really hard landing. Really hard… When I landed, straight up, I was not sure if I broke both my f**king shins.”

So bro, I’m sitting there and he comes back, I’m like, ‘What the f**k is he doing here!?’ Yes, in the moment (I became a fan) and dude, I’m selling, I’m like, hey, then he hit John and we lost the f**king match!”
