Logan Paul reveals huge name rejected $1m offer for Prime stunt at WrestleMania that would've broken the internet
Logan Paul has revealed the huge $1 million offer he proposed for one of the biggest stars in WWE history to appear in a Prime bottle at WrestleMania 41.
Paul had his fourth WrestleMania match in Las Vegas, taking on AJ Styles on night two of the Allegiant Stadium and coming away with his third victory at WWE's equivalent of the Super Bowl.
The YouTuber-turned WWE superstar had another elaborate entrance and flew a drone down the ramp as he made his way to the ring.
But for the first time since his WrestleMania debut in 2022, Paul did not have anyone in the lifesize Prime bottle which has become part of his act.

His hydration brand is an official partner of WWE and in previous years business associate KSI and streamer iShowSpeed have both been inside the bottle before being put through the announce table in brutal fashion in consecutive years.
This time around, however, there was no such stunt. But there were very much discussions about it, with Paul claiming that he offered WWE legend Stone Cold Steve Austin $1 million to be in the bottle.
The Texas Rattlesnake was in town to celebrate his match with Bret Hart going into the Hall of Fame and also made a chaotic appearance on night two to announce the WrestleMania attendance - but not before crashing into woman on a quad bike ringside and immediately apologising.
Stone Cold Steve Austin turned down whopping $1 million offer from Logan Paul
Austin did a slew of meet and greets over the weekend but turned down a proposition from Paul and Prime.
“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 on his IMPAULSIVE podcast.
In response, Paul's manager, Jeff Lavin, said: “I don’t care what the number is, he’s never getting in that bottle, ever. The WWE universe would kill him."
Paul went on to reveal that the plan was for to Austin to smash Prime bottles together in the same way he does with his own Broken Skull beers which he sunk in the ring.
”That’s why we offered him a million," The Maverick added.
"We were like, ‘Bro, do you want to get in this bottle?’ I mean, I don’t think he even considered it for a second. The WWE Universe would kill him. Imagine it—he face-revealed the Prime bottle. It’s f******* Stone Cold. He could have done anything, which is why I think it would have worked, ultimately. And maybe one year. But I’m just saying, bro.”
"Stone Cold strikes me as a guy who takes himself very seriously. It's Stone Cold bro, he says so. It's the bottom line because he said so.
With many wrestling legends appearing, Austin is one of the dream guests to come IMPAULSIVE podcast and the crew are desperate to get him on the show in the future.
