Logan Paul recalls pitching KSI’s WrestleMania spot to the famous British YouTuber.
At WrestleMania 39, Logan Paul took on Seth Rollins in a match that was hyped by many fans due to the build up from Paul and Rollins, but a surprising face showed up during the match, as Paul’s PRIME partner KSI would appear. KSI would dress up as a Prime sponsor, getting involved in the match and even eating a frog splash from his business partner thanks to Rollins.
Speaking on IMPAULSIVE, Paul discussed KSI’s involvement at WrestleMania 39.
“I turned the PRIME bottle costume he was in two-dimensional. Which, by the way, that was the best part about that jump. After I jumped on him, KSI like sunk in the costume. It was like flattened out on this table. That spot was probably one of the coolest, I’m biased, one of the coolest product integrations WWE has ever had. They are the best organization in the world for creativity, and PRIME, we’re pretty innovative with marketing. As is our brand, we are disruptors. So we approach marketing the same way. So when we came up with this idea to jump onto the PRIME bottle, where JJ would be inside it and have a surprise reveal, I didn’t think it was gonna get approved. How could that get approved?”
“When I pitched JJ and his team PRIME, it was like a, ‘Hey guys, I have this idea for a drink company.’ They were like, ‘That actually sounds pretty good.’ Pitching then this had a very similar reaction. I was like, ‘Hey, I know you have a boxing match coming up… but you gotta trust me, the stunt is, I’m gonna jump off the top rope while you’re in the PRIME bottle, and I land and frog splash you through a table.’ His manager’s sending sweating emojis, like, ‘Yeah, I don’t think that’s gonna work.’ But KSI is so fucking cool. I love that kid. He is awesome, and just so entertaining and good at what he does, and down. He’s down for the cause, man. When we got together, every time, we really build off each other in a way that I feel so good about,”

Paul would go on to say that KSI was very happy with the spot backstage after, very excited to having being part of a WWE event.
