A major NFL trade has just gone down.

Although it doesn't involve a player, it does involve a coveted object - specifically, Patrick Mahomes' Super Bowl ring, which the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback 'traded' for Logan Paul's WWE championship belt.

Mahomes recently appeared in one of the YouTube star-turned-pro wrestler's Instagram videos where the 'trade' went down.

In the video, Paul swaps the United States Championship belt he won at Crown Jewel with Mahomes in exchange for one of his Super Bowl rings.

Mahomes, who is signed to Prime, the drinks company co-founded by Paul - agrees to the deal a bottle of his Prime drink is thrown into the mix.

“You add a Lemonade Prime? We got a deal,” the reigning Super Bowl MVP says as part of the promo for the much hyped drink.

He then proceeds to hand over his prestigious ring.

"Fantastic. Going straight to the pawn shop, baby," he says laughing, which brought Mahomes to plead 'come on, man'.

Mahomes is the latest big name to endorse Prime, following UFC stars Israel Adesanya, Premier League footballer Erling Haaland and Alisha Lehmann, who was the first female ambassador snapped up.

The influencer-led company announced the huge news on social media with a picture of Mahomes holding a bottle of the famous drink.

“Fuelling the best, Patrick Mahomes x PRIME,” it read.

The 6x Pro Bowler is currently gearing up for the NFL playoffs and is expected to sit out the Chiefs' season finale against the Chargers this weekend.

KC have already locked in the AFC's No. 3 playoff seed with a 10-6 record and will be looking to repeat as Super Bowl champions having lifted the Vince Lombardi Trophy last year.

Paul, meanwhile, has been flying high in WWE after beating Rey Mysterio at the Crown Jewel premium live event in November 2023 to win the United States Championship.

The American is scheduled to defend the US Title later this month at WWE Royal Rumble - where he will face the winner of the match between Kevin Owens and Santos Escobar.

That match takes place on Friday 5 January on the New Year’s Revolution edition of WWE SmackDown which Paul is scheduled to be at.
