Below are a couple of top WWE news stories of the day, featuring Steve Austin and Liv Morgan.
• Steve Austin Reveals Why He Turned Down Logan Paul’s $1 Million Offer
Logan Paul 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.”
During an interview on The Ariel Helwani Show, Austin was asked about this offer and here’s what The Texas Rattlesnake said:
“If he said that, I’m not going to call him a liar. I just thought it was personal business, but since it’s out there — yeah, I turned it down. I’m in the beer business. I don’t know anything about his product, its ingredients, whether it’s good or bad. It just wasn’t my thing.
It’s not my gimmick. He’s doing great, he’s hustling, and I respect that. But it just wasn’t the right fit for Steve Austin.”
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.

• Liv Morgan’s Hollywood Movie Revealed
During a backstage segment on this week’s RAW, WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion Liv Morgan revealed that she will be filming a big Hollywood movie and will be taking some time off.
Sean Ross Sapp added that the claim from people who would know about Liv’s project is that a lot of people’s jaws will drop when it’s revealed.
PWInsider further added that Morgan’s movie is seen as the type of opportunity that, if it succeeds as expected, could establish her as Hollywood’s next “IT Girl.”
In an update from Deadline, Morgan has landed a major acting role in Bad Lieutenant: Tokyo, the upcoming thriller from acclaimed Japanese director Takashi Miike, as reported by Neon Pictures. Miike, known for his provocative and genre-blending films, will direct the project, which is set to begin production in Japan within the next week.
The cast features Shun Oguri (Godzilla vs. Kong) as a corrupt Metropolitan Police detective with a gambling addiction, and Lily James (Baby Driver, Pam & Tommy) as an enigmatic FBI agent. The story kicks off when James’ character arrives in Tokyo to investigate the disappearance of a politician’s daughter—played by Morgan. As the investigation deepens, a sinister figure connected to the yakuza underworld begins to shadow their every move.
The film promises to deliver a tense, cross-cultural thriller that blends Miike’s signature edge with an international cast.
Neon, which is backing the project, previously distributed Anora, the film that went on to win the Academy Award for Best Picture.
