Logan Paul reveals why KSI\u2019s team was \u201cfreaking out\u201d ahead of WrestleMania 39 Prime spot Instagram: drinkprimeLogan Paul\u2019s latest viral moment in the WWE came at KSI\u2019s expense during WrestleMania 39. Admittedly, it was a spot the British YouTuber\u2019s management team wasn\u2019t all too eager on at first. Since signing with the WWE in 2022, there\u2019s been no shortage of viral clips from internet celeb Logan Paul. From his breathtaking crash with Ricochet at the Royal Rumble to his main event frog splash on champ Roman Reigns, each appearance has certainly exploded on social media. Looking to top his previous acts with yet another memorable sequence at this year\u2019s WrestleMania, the biggest WWE event on the calendar, Paul once again took to the top rope. This time, however, it wasn\u2019t a fellow wrestler he crashed onto. Rather, it was former boxing rival turned Prime Hydration co-founder KSI. After masking his presence inside a giant Prime bottle costume, KSI emerged to a thunderous roar from the Los Angeles crowd. But while the two intended to dominate Seth Rollins, he was ultimately the last one laughing, well, cackling, after Paul flew through the air and crashed down onto his business partner in yet another viral WWE clip. Given the nature of the stunt though, Paul soon admitted on a follow-up episode of the Impaulsive podcast, that KSI\u2019s management team wasn\u2019t thrilled by the idea at first. Especially given the close proximity of his next boxing match against Joe Fournier on May 13. \u201cWhen we came up with this idea to jump on the Prime bottle, I didn\u2019t think it was gonna get approved,\u201d Paul said a few days removed from the historic WWE event. \u201cI didn\u2019t know if JJ would want to get physical,\u201d co-host Mike Majlak chimed in, to which Paul quickly agreed. \u201cMe neither,\u201d he joked. \u201cSo when I pitched JJ and his team on Prime, it was like \u2018hey guys, I have this idea for a drink company.\u2019 They were like \u2018yeah, sounds pretty good.\u2019 And pitching them [on WrestleMania] had a very similar reaction. \u2018Hey, I know you have a boxing match next month, here\u2019s the idea, you\u2019ve gotta trust me.\u2019 Not looking to jeopardize a huge payday for his foe-turned-friend KSI, Paul claimed he was indeed nervous when sharing the idea. But while KSI was immediately \u201cdown for the cause\u201d and enthusiastic about the idea, his manager didn\u2019t share the excitement. \u201c[KSI\u2019s] manager is sending sweat emojis saying \u2018yeah I don\u2019t think that\u2019s gonna work,\u2019\u201d he recounted. Given the physicality of the spot, one that saw Paul jumping from the top rope of the WWE ring, crashing onto KSI, and then exploding through an announce table, he was \u201cworried [he] would really hurt him.\u201d Logan Paul discusses the viral KSI moment at the 17:40 timestamp below. \u201cHis boxing coach was like \u2018I need to see this, I need to talk to [WWE], I need to make sure\u2026 I need releases, they were freaking out,\u201d Paul\u2019s own manager Jeff Levin added. But even with these concerns, KSI was adamant it was a \u201conce in a lifetime opportunity\u201d he simply couldn\u2019t pass up. \u201cHe was so excited. I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve ever seen him that excited,\u201d Paul said after the two walked to the back following their performance at WrestleMania. For now, it appears KSI\u2019s showing was a one-and-done deal with WWE, while Paul seems set to continue his run with odd Premium Live Event feuds for months to come. So it\u2019d be wise not to expect any tag team action with the Prime founders anytime soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
