Logan Paul knows how to rile up WWE fans. He kicked off SmackDown this week by enraging them with a big change to the WWE. Then he invited one of his old friends, who didn't get the best reception, either.
Paul opened up this week's SmackDown by unveiling a big Prime bottle logo in the center of the ring. He then said that Prime is the first center ring sponsor in WWE history, and they will be seeing that logo at WrestleMania. Then KSI came out to join the fun.
Logan Paul Brings KSI to SmackDown
Logan Paul got fans in Dallas to boo him relentlessly, and then he no-sold their "What" chants. In the middle of his promo, he announced that Prime has made history as the first company to ever book a center ring deal with WWE.
The Maverick unveiled a big Prime bottle in the middle of the ring. He said that fans will see that Prime bottle on the ring at WrestleMania and all premium live events from now on. This got a big boo from fans in Texas. Then, Logan Paul introduced KSI, who came to the ring through the crowd.

Randy Orton came out next, and LP ran away. Sadly for KSI, he ate an RKO and was laid out in the middle of the Prime bottle logo on the mat. Then Orton picked up a bottle of Prime for good measure, took a sip, and poured it on KSI's crotch for good measure.
At least Orton did sip the Prime and remark, "This is very good," before he capped things off by drenching the influencer.

More on WWE Sponsorships and Prime
This is not the first time fans have seen KSI on WWE television. He was at WrestleMania last year, where he did a pretty crazy spot in a Prime bottle costume.
This is also a very real deal between Prime and WWE. It is noted as the company's largest sponsorship deal in history.
WWE is open for business when it comes to selling off ad space for their ring. Nick Khan has made it very clear in the past that they are interested in renting out any asset they have for advertising purposes. It will be interesting to see how many times we see a Prime bottle in the middle of the ring, but the company is not opposed to the idea.
SEScoops will have more coverage of this story, and many more, as we continue down the road to WrestleMania 40. We will have additional updates as new details are made available.
