During the WWE Royal Rumble premium live event, YouTube personality and live streamer IShowSpeed was given an opportunity to join the fray at the men’s Royal Rumble match.
Filling in the #8 spot after Akira Tozawa was attacked by Carmelo Hayes, Speed had been broadcasting live from the event as approved by Triple H when the chief content officer revealed his chance to enter the main event of the night.
As detailed by Mike Tedesco in his live coverage of the Royal Rumble, Speed helped Bron Breakker eliminate Otis from the match before taking a Spear from the Intercontinental Champion that led to Speed’s own elimination, after being sent into the arms of Otis on the outside.
The streamer was seen being carted out from ringside, with the crowd (sort of) showing their appreciation as Speed was taken to the backstage area, where Logan Paul met up with his friend and fellow personality.
Paul, who entered the match at #30, was eliminated by John Cena and officially second runner-up of the 2025 men’s Royal Rumble.
