Steve Austin has verified reports concerning a significant financial proposal from Logan Paul related to WrestleMania 41. The WWE legend confirmed that he declined a $1 million offer extended by the former United States Champion.
The offer involved Austin wearing a Prime Bottle suit during an appearance at the major event. Logan Paul first publicly mentioned the rejected proposal days after WrestleMania 41 concluded, sparking online discussion and some skepticism about the claim’s validity.
Austin did appear briefly on Night 2 of the Las Vegas spectacle, fulfilling the role of announcing the event’s two-night attendance figures. His cameo did not extend to interfering in the Undisputed Title match between Cody Rhodes and John Cena, contrary to some fan expectations.
