Paul wrote that he tore up the knee midway through the bout, which also featured his brother, Jake, a former YouTuber who last week beat former UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva in a professional boxing match.
Paul, 27, received rave reviews for his outing against Reigns, considering it was only the third pro wrestling match of his career. A risky move came when he jumped off the top rope onto Reigns, who was lying outside the ring on a table while Paul was filming video with a cell phone in his left hand. Paul made his WWE debut in April at WrestleMania and is signed to WWE, though not as a full-time performer. In June 2021, Paul fought Floyd Mayweather in an exhibition boxing match in which no winner was announced.
