Logan Paul had once again offered Stone Cold Steve Austin a staggering deal, only to be turned down by him.
Logan Paul has thrived as a worldwide celebrity, WWE superstar, and smart businessman. One of his major business ventures is PRIME Hydration, which has become a huge part of the energy drink market. The brand has sponsored many top sports entities, such as WWE, Football, Basketball, and more.
Moreover, Logan Paul once wanted to bring Stone Cold Steve Austin on board for a PRIME campaign. He even made a highly lucrative offer to the Texas Rattlesnake, but the WWE Hall of Famer turned it down, as Paul himself revealed.

Why did Steve Austin reject Logan Paul's offer?

During the recent edition of the Impaulsive podcast, Logan revealed that he offered Stone Cold Steve Austin one million dollars to wear the PRIME bottle costume for a promotional stunt. However, the Bionic Redneck refused his offer and Paul also added that Austin would never be a part of his brand. He said, "Bro, 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. Ever."

Furthermore, Logan Paul believed that Austin rejected the offer for fear of the WWE Universe turning on him for partnering with him, as he himself is a controversial figure. "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.”

While Logan Paul did say that Austin would never consider becoming a part of PRIME, it seems he is right, as turning down a million dollars was a huge decision that the Texas Rattlesnake made.
