During his Triple-Threat Match at WrestleMania XL, Orton showcased many powerful RKOs and one of them was against popular social media influencer, IShowSpeed. While the YouTuber seemed to be in a serious condition, he has become better, taking to X to update his fans.

Fans thought that KSI had returned to WrestleMania XL to receive some more beatings in the same costume as last year. However, the supporter was immediately revealed to be IShowSpeed.

This was a reference to the popular criticism that other combat sports fans have about pro wrestling, deeming it as ‘fake’. After having endured an RKO and other vicious moves at the hands of Randy Orton, Speed wants everyone to know that wrestling, even if pre-determined, is real.
The Ronaldo Superfan wasn’t the only YouTuber who got to know from Randy Orton that pro wrestling hurts in real life. In fact, KSI got a taste of it twice before he decided to support his friend from a distance at WrestleMania XL.

Randy Orton injured KSI a few weeks ago
On the road to WrestleMania, Logan Paul was feuding with the WWE legend for his United States Championship. The heel wrestler was involved in several promotions. In one of the segments, KSI visited WWE alongside The Maverick, wearing classy business attire. What the two businessmen were trying to do did not work out in their favor. On the contrary, they angered Randy Orton.
While Logan Paul was able to escape an RKO out of nowhere, KSI lacked the training and skills to do so. Consequently, he had to bear it, followed by public humiliation. Shortly after, a picture of KSI with a neck brace went viral.
