Logan Paul discusses PRIME being the newest WWE sponsor.
On Friday's WWE SmackDown, Logan Paul announced that PRIME was the first-ever center ring sponsor in WWE history. Beginning at WrestleMania 40, all WWE Premium Live Events will feature the PRIME logo in the center of the ring.
Speaking on Impaulsive, Logan Paul addressed the sponsorship and backlash.
"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 [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. Fuck y'all, I'm going to stamp everything about this with me so you're reminded of just what my aim is; to takeover," said Paul. "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."
Paul said he did find the memes funny of fans photoshopping the PRIME logo on classic WWE moments.
