WWE Hall of Famer ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin made headlines after he decisively declined a lucrative $1 million proposal from the influential social media personality Logan Paul, who sought a distinctive WrestleMania appearance powered by his beverage brand, Prime.
As WrestleMania 41 unfolded, it became a stage for celebration, showcasing both emerging champions and seasoned legends. Notably, on the second night, Logan Paul faced off against wrestling luminary AJ Styles.
Throughout the event, Paul’s beverage company, Prime, received ample visibility, with even former UFC champion Israel Adesanya promoting a prominent diamond-encrusted Prime chain on camera.

However, the opportunity for increased visibility for Prime was missed when Steve Austin turned down a substantial offer. In a recent episode of his Impaulsive podcast, Logan Paul disclosed that he had made a generous seven-figure offer to Austin for a cameo at WrestleMania 41.

According to Paul, the proposition included a $1 million payout for Austin to participate in WrestleMania while humorously donning a giant Prime bottle outfit, similar to previous promotional appearances by internet personalities like KSI and IShowSpeed.

Paul humorously recounted, “We offered Steve a million dollars to be in the Prime bottle. He didn’t do it. So instead, he f***ing ran a poor woman over with an ATV.”
His manager, Jeff Levin, added, “No matter the amount, he’s never getting in that bottle, ever. The WWE universe would never allow it.”
Paul amusingly noted that Austin’s response was immediate, indicating that the legendary wrestler, despite his successful career, had no interest in the promotional opportunity.

The promotional plan proposed by Paul aimed to substitute Austin’s iconic beer celebration with Prime bottles, although Austin himself is already involved in the beverage space with his Broken Skull Beers, which he famously celebrated in front of a crowd of 60,000 fans in Las Vegas.
