IShowSpeed made a surprise appearance at WrestleMania 40 on the 7th of April, lending a hand in Logan Paul’s triple threat match against Randy Orton and Kevin Owens.
Paul came out riding on a massive bottle of PRIME, before then walking up to the ring with a blue PRIME mascot. Little did the fans watching on know that inside that costume was Speed, a famous YouTuber and streamer known for his erratic personality and infectious energy.
Speed’s identity was revealed when he pulled Paul out of the ring to save him from a barrage by Orton. Once Paul was out of the ring, Speed removed a cover from his face to reveal his true identity, barking like a dog at Orton in the process.

Speed’s intervention was not without consequences, though, as Orton proceeded to make his way out of the ring to confront him. Orton dragged Speed onto the announcer’s table before barking back in his face. To finish the confrontation, Orton RKOd Speed through the table, leaving the YouTuber lying face-down. All that was left to be said by the commentators was “The dog is dead.”
After the bout, Speed took to social media to say: “I’m gonna be honest, everything is real man. I got a fat headache right now, my neck is kind f*****, it’s kinda stiff, it’s kinda cramped up. I got a bad wind knocked outta me. Imma just be in the hospital for one day, imma be ok – I’m not dead. I got RKOd by Randy Orton, so my head is hurting so bad. I just wanted to let y’all know that I’m ok.”
Speed’s intervention may have ended in the YouTuber being dismissed by Orton, but it gave Paul vital time to recover from the bombardment of attacks he had fended off in the match.
