First Ever WWE Center Of Ring Sponsor Revealed

WWE

To open tonight’s episode of WWE SmackDown, an in-ring promo from Logan Paul and a surprise celebrity appearance.

Paul made interesting announcement during his in-ring promo that his Prime brand had become WWE’s first center-ring sponsor.

Starting at WrestleMania 40 and every premium live event thereafter according to Paul, it appears a giant Prime bottle logo would be in the center of the ring.

In-ring sponsors are something that Vince McMahon was notoriously against doing during his time in charge of WWE.

However, TKO executives have spoken multiple times about incorporating more sponsorships similar to the UFC.

It’s possible we could see more similar moves in the future, including sponsorships on the turnbuckles.

Logan Paul then ushered in a special guest, fellow social media star and co-founder of the brand, KSI.

With Paul noting that he came all the way from England to the hellhole of Dallas, Texas just for this announcement, KSI came to the ring from the crowd.

However as the pair were in the ring, they failed to see Randy Orton sneak up from behind to attempt to hit an RKO on Paul who was able to escape.

The same could not be said for KSI who fell victim to the Viper, who then went on the sample the Prime drink that was in the ring.

Randy Orton confirmed that it was delicious but then went on to pour it on KSI to end the segment as Logan Paul watched on.

You can see Randy Orton hitting an RKO on KSI in the clip below.

Next up on SmackDown, Randy Orton teamed with Kevin Owens to take on Grayson Waller and Austin Theory.

Orton and Owens picked up the win, despite Paul trying to help Waller and Theory.

It was reported after Elimination Chamber that Logan Paul vs Randy Orton was planned for WrestleMania, but it’s unclear where that would leave Owens.
