WrestleMania XL Night #2 seemed to be filled with surprises. Not only did Snoop Dogg return with the WWE Golden Championship belt, but IShowSpeed made his first WWE appearance. He interfered in the United States title match with Logan Paul, Randy Orton, and Kevin Owens. Now, the big question is whether he is part of the WWE or if this was a one-off appearance by the internet celebrity.
IShowSpeed made headlines after following his idol Cristiano Ronaldo to the World Cup last year. His work on Twitch and social media made him an internet celebrity and the victim of an RKO.

During the Triple-Threat match for the United States Championship, Randy Orton seemed to have the match in the bag. However, right before he brought back the Punk Kick to WrestleMania, his victim, Logan Paul, was pulled out of the ring by the Prime Bottle mascot. While fans thought it was KSI, it turned out to be IShowSpeed. While the WWE has not confirmed anything, his appearance could be the same as Jason Kelce on Night #1. There is no news yet on whether he is part of the WWE.

After finding out who it was under the PRIME bottle mascot costume, Orton was hesitant to attack the Twitch streamer. However, once provoked with his iconic barking, The Viper let loose. Not only did he pull him out of the costume, but Orton decided to rub some salt on an impending wound. As he set him up for the RKO on the announce table, Orton barked back.
Credit where credit is due: he did take the bump on the table like a champ. While his future involvement with the WWE is unknown, it is clear that Paul is bringing his YouTube friends to the WWE.

Logan Paul’s run in the WWE saw KSI, and now IShowSpeed
Ahead of WrestleMania, KSI accompanied Paul to the ring to unveil PRIME’s partnership with the WWE. This also resulted in Orton RKO-ing KSI. Now, the same happened tonight. While the Twitch star did claim on social media that his injury was real, only time will tell if he plans to return.
The Twitch streamer has a massive online presence and is liked by the community. This could be a great way to get more people into the new era of the WWE. While many did complain about the language used, the upcoming Netflix deal could solve all that. What did you think about the spot? Did you think Orton will make it his duty to RKO all of Paul’s YouTube friends? Tell us in the comments.
