WWE Hall of Famer ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin didn’t think twice when turning down a $1 million offer from Logan Paul for a Prime-infused WrestleMania moment.
Another WrestleMania has come and gone as new champions were crowned and legends were celebrated on the grandest stage of them all. On the second night of WrestleMania 41, influencer Logan Paul got to work against all-time great AJ Styles.
While this was Paul’s big moment for the weekend, his beverage company, Prime, was on display constantly as one of WWE’s major sponsors. Even former UFC champ Israel Adesanya was seen touting his diamond-encrusted Prime chain on camera at one point.
However, it turns out Prime could’ve had an even bigger spotlight if Paul’s wishes came true. During his Impaulsive podcast, the social media celeb revealed a mammoth seven-figure offer was turned down by WWE legend Steve Austin.
Stone Cold always has plenty to drink whenever he appears at WrestleMania.
Stone Cold rejects Logan Paul’s $1 million offer
According to Paul himself, the Prime company offered Stone Cold a whopping $1 million sum if he was willing to appear at WrestleMania 41 on behalf of Prime. The only condition, he had to rock up wearing a giant Prime bottle, as we’ve seen from the likes of KSI and IShowSpeed in previous years.
“Bro, 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,” Paul said with a laugh.
“I don’t care what the number is, he’s never getting in that bottle, ever,” Paul’s manager, Jeff Levin, said in response. The WWE universe would kill him.”
Amusingly, Paul claimed there wasn’t even a moment of consideration from Austin. It was an immediate rejection from a sports entertainment icon who’s more than made his fair chunk of change over the years.

The “creative” was to essentially replace Stone Cold’s traditional beer celebration with bottles of Prime. Little did Paul know, Austin is also in the beverage industry with his own Broken Skull Beers that he chugged in front of 60,000 live fans in Las Vegas.
