This past Friday on SmackDown, United States Champion Logan Paul revealed that his Prime hydration company has signed a contract with WWE to be the first ever center-ring sponsor for the company, starting at WrestleMania 40 and for every PLE.
You can check it out below:
This news received a lot of backlash on Social Media. Logan had the following to say about this on his Impaulsive podcast:
“Getting that center ring spot is interesting. It’s more positive reviews, but I think the die-hard wrestling fans are really upset.
It’s never been done, and Vince (McMahon) was always really protective of the mat and not putting any brands on it but in this new era, which it is, no matter how you cut it. TKO is a publicly traded company. They have to meet a bottom line. That spot was going to be sold.
We saw an opportunity, and potentially an opportunity to make people hate me even more because I am a heel. That’s kind of the angle I took. F**k y’all. I’m going to stamp everything about this with me so you’re reminded of just what my aim is; to takeover.
If we don’t have this spot forever, who knows, it’ll be somebody else. I promise if you’re a die-hard WWE fan, you’ll forget about it. It’ll start to be standard practice, and I don’t think it’ll be as distracting as y’all think.”
Also on his podcast, Logan announced that SummerSlam 2024 will take place at the Cleveland Browns Stadium in Cleveland, Ohio on Saturday, August 3rd.
Logan tweeted the following:
“I’M COMING HOME.”
This is going to be the first time since 1996 that SummerSlam will take place in Cleveland.
Logan said he wants this to be one of the biggest events ever done in Cleveland and he wants an opponent he can bring the house down with.
