YouTuber-turned-pro wrestler Logan Paul has been making several moves within the WWE. While his in-ring performance earned him the United States Championship, his business and marketing skills have also made their mark in the company. PRIME has been the official hydration partner of WWE for quite some time, but now, the beverage brand has made a new breakthrough.

Ever since its inception, the WWE has mostly had a blank canvas for its prestigious squared circle. However, Logan Paul and his friend and business partner KSI have cracked a major deal to change this. In what is dubbed the biggest sponsorship deal bagged by the WWE, the canvas will now feature PRIME’s logo in the center. However, this has horribly enraged fans. In fact, they have started a whole storm on social media against this unwelcome new development.

WWE announced a groundbreaking partnership with Logan Paul’s PRIME Hydration. As part of the agreement, PRIME will enjoy prominent branding at premium live events like WrestleMania and Money in the Bank, etc. Even WrestleOps have recently confirmed this by tweeting about it.
