Back in March, the most thunderous entertainment company signed an alliance so beastly that it was like receiving a Stone Cold Stunner in the face. Prime Hydration, the brainchild of YouTuber KSI and US Champion Logan Paul became the sponsors of WrestleMania. And For the first time ever, that iconic ring where legends are forged had the Prime logo at the very center. But that wasn’t all. KSI also received an RKO out of nowhere from Randy Orton, who was then feuding with the US champion.

Though the appearance was brief, KSI confessed that being a victim of Randy Orton’s RKO was one of the best decisions of his life. While it was painful, it was still a memorable moment. As he revealed on the Impaulsive podcast, “Honestly, one of the best things I’ve ever done in my life. He (Orton) f***** me up. He grabbed my head and slammed me into his bicep. My nose is smushed, my lip got cut up. The inside of my lip is destroyed from my teeth slamming into his bicep. I was like, ‘f***!’ It hurts. It f*** hurts”

This surely means that he would be looking for another opportunity to get into the ring. And Paul being the heel that he is, would surely want a muscleman like KSI on his side who surely knows how to throw a punch or two. So he is more likely to make an appearance on Paul’s side.

This surely would’ve thrilled the streamer, who would be looking forward to making another action-packed appearance. Helping Logan Paul win the Universal championship. However, this would be a tough task to do. During an episode of his podcast Impaulsive, Logan Paul gave details about how he managed to get Speed to appear at WrestleMania 40. In the words of the reigning champion, having the presence of the streamer meant a careful negotiation and conviction.

He said, “When I was pitching him to the WWE, it took a little massaging, took a little finessing for us to convince them that we had this young creator who, by the way, is still a teenager. The kid’s 19 years old, who’s just an internet phenom. Everything he touches goes crazy viral because he’s got that charismatic, contagious energy … He’s a sensation. He’s YouTube internet sensation.” At the end of the day, Speed’s presence helped the audience become more connected to the fight. If everything continues like this, it seems that WWE will continue to be interested in having the services of the streamer. Though it would take another round of negotiations. What do you think? Will we get to see the two return at King of the Ring? Let us know in the comments.
