Below are a couple of top WrestleMania 41 news stories of the day, featuring Steve Austin and Cody Rhodes.
• Steve Austin Rejected Logan Paul’s Embarrassing $1 Million Offer For WrestleMania 41
Logan Paul has revealed that he offered Stone Cold Steve Austin $1 million to wear a PRIME bottle costume at WrestleMania 41, but Austin immediately turned down the offer.
Here’s what Logan said on his podcast:
“We offered Steve a million dollars to be in the PRIME bottle. He didn’t do it. Oh, he’s not the guy. I don’t care what number it is – he’s not getting in that bottle.
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.”
The PRIME bottle mascot costume gimmick was done by KSI at WrestleMania 39 and by IShowSpeed at WrestleMania 40.
Steve Austin appeared on both nights on WrestleMania 41. On Night 1, he appeared on the stage as part of the 2025 Hall of Fame class. On Night 2, he came to the ring on his ATV to announce the attendance.
Logan Paul defeated AJ Styles on Night 2.

• Update On Cody Rhodes After WrestleMania 41 Loss
On The Pat McAfee Show, The Rock said John Cena winning his 17th World Title at WrestleMania 41 was the right call, and said Cody Rhodes will become WWE Champion again:
“I love John getting 17. And I never had a concern about John pulling this off. My thoughts are always to Cody because of what we’ve established with him and his story and the kind of babyface that he is.
So if done right and I think if finessed right and if nuanced right down the road, that guy not only has an incredible babyface run again as champion, but also just an unheard of run as a heel down the road.”
The Wrestling Observer reported the following about The Final Boss’ comments:
“He also said that Cody Rhodes was going to have another great run as a babyface and win the World Title, and then eventually he would go heel. I was told on that one that is not the plan.
It could happen, and he could probably even force it, but nobody is under the impression that that is the thing and where they are going.”
