WrestleMania 40 has concluded, and while one saga has reached its conclusion, a new feud is emerging between unlikely opponents: YouTuber IShowSpeed and Randy Orton.
ShowSpeed made his first appearance in the WWE during Logan Paul’s US Title defense, competing in a triple threat match against Kevin Owens and Randy Orton.
Despite wearing a giant Prime bottle costume, Speed watched the bout and came to Logan’s rescue when he was almost pinned. However, this act resulted in him facing the anger of The Viper, who kicked him and then brutally punished him with an RKO.

The video of Orton’s assault on IShowSpeed quickly became an internet sensation, garnering millions of views on various social media platforms. Even The Legend Killer himself acknowledged the widespread popularity of his attack by sharing a meme of him kicking Speed on his social media account, along with the clever caption: “Wishing IShowSpeed a speedy recovery.”
The streamer, on the other hand, refused to back down from the attack and promised to be prepared when they meet again in the future.
“I can’t wait to see you again, bro, I promise on God,”Speed commented on Orton’s Instagram post.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding Speed’s future with the WWE, it is apparent that the streamer still has unfinished business with Orton, leaving room for the possibility of him returning in a larger capacity or continued involvement in the company’s plans.
The RKO Speed was so severe that the YouTuber had to seek medical attention. In a post on X, he shared that he would be spending a day in the hospital due to intense headaches.
Despite Speed’s interference in the match, it ultimately proved beneficial as it aided Logan Paul in retaining his title. The following day, Speed solidified his membership in The Maverick and KSI’s Prime Squad.
