Logan Paul is having a rollercoaster time these days. Despite rocking the scene with WWE, Paul might have found himself in deep trouble again. The Maverick who is one of the founders of PRIME Hydration Beverage along with business partner, KSI, has once again come under scrutiny from the US FDA for the amount of caffeine content in PRIME energy drink. Amidst this turmoil, he has received support from a renowned WWE legend.

Schumer stated how PRIME has twice the caffeine present compared to red bull and warned about its serious health concerns, especially for children under the age of eighteen. However, WWE legend Bruce Prichard has come out to support Paul.
In his podcast, Pichard spoke about how he likes PRIME. Raving about the Orange Mango flavor, the WWE legend revealed that he finds it good. However, he admitted that the drink has lots of caffeine.
Richard stated: “My son is 20. He drinks a lot of this Prime stuff, so I mentioned to Logan saying Kane really likes Prime. And he sends a bunch of prime to my house and I’d love, you don’t remember the blood orange mango flavor. There is a drink in there called orange mango and man, it’s good. This is not a paid advertisement by any stretch of the imagination. It’s got a lot of caffeine in it. I will pre-warn you, but it’s really good.”
The brand that sold over $250 million worth of drinks in its inaugural year was under fire for its caffeine content which is reported to be more than 200 mg per can. This has led to an investigation from the US FDA.

With allegations over its caffeine and its negative health effects, Paul decided to retaliate by clarifying the basic differences between his two products, PRIME hydration, which doesn’t have caffeine and PRIME energy drink which contains a high amount of caffeine.
The social media giant uploaded a story on his Instagram handle, highlighting how there’s a warning label present on the back of the bottles. It talks about drinking responsibly and how it’s not suitable for children under eighteen, pregnant women, and people sensitive to caffeine.
