IShowSpeed has gradually become familiar with the world of professional wrestling, making multiple appearances in WWE. For instance, at WrestleMania 40 in Philadelphia, Speed made his WWE debut, where he was there to support his fellow influencer-turned-professional wrestler, Logan Paul.
At the time, Logan Paul, the United States Champion, faced Randy Orton and Kevin Owens in a triple-threat match. During this match, IShowSpeed revealed himself as the Prime Drink mascot just as Orton was about to deliver a punt kick to Paul.
Following the reveal, Orton confronted and attacked IShowSpeed, dragging him to the announcer’s table and delivering a devastating RKO. Moreover, IShowSpeed made a brief appearance during WWE’s 2024 Draft.
In January 2025, he made his return to WWE at the Royal Rumble. Speed entered the men’s Royal Rumble match at the 8th spot, replacing an injured Akira Tozawa. Initially, he helped Bron Breakker eliminate Otis, but then Breakker hit him with a huge spear and threw him out of the ring.
As a result of the devastating spear from Breakker, Speed was seen wearing a neck brace and using crutches. Recently, he reflected on his WWE experiences, recalling everything from receiving the RKO to the brutal spear. In fact, he described getting speared by Bron Breakker as his craziest and worst experience ever.

In a recent YouTube stream, Speed opened up about the spear, explaining how he thought he was close to death afterward. He shared, “After this, the day after Bron Breakker speared me. I had probably one of the worst headaches. I couldn’t move. I could not move, bro. I thought I was nearly about to die. Real talk. That was maybe one of the craziest, worst experiences ever. Real talk. I’m being so serious.” [H/T: Fightful]
