Former Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan recently made a surprise appearance on IShowSpeed’s livestream during WrestleMania 42 week in Las Vegas, sporting visible injuries.
The Judgment Day member showed up with bruising under both eyes and a hematoma on her forehead. It stems from the incident on the April 6 edition of Raw where Stephanie Vaquer pushed her into Roxanne Perez, and they collided heads.
Morgan was the first of three WWE Superstars to appear on Speed’s stream during his first day in Las Vegas. The popular content creator is in town for WrestleMania 42 week festivities.
Liv Morgan Offers WrestleMania Advice
During her appearance, Morgan provided advice to IShowSpeed about WrestleMania 42.
“Honestly, I don’t know how much you’ve been training. I don’t know how much you’ve been doing, but I feel like I would just tell you to just be present in the moment. You know yourself. You know how you want to represent yourself. You know what you need to do in the ring.”
She added:
“So just try to enjoy it and just soak it all in. Because it’s going to go by so quick. You’re going to go out there and be like, wow, this is so incredible. And then in like, it’s gonna feel like two minutes, and then blink of an eye, it’s done, and you’re gonna wish maybe I savored a little bit more.”
IShowSpeed will join forces with Logan Paul and Austin Theory to face LA Knight and The Usos in the opening match of WrestleMania 42 Night One. On the same night, Liv Morgan will challenge Stephanie Vaquer for the Women’s World title.
It’s official. WWE General Manager Adam Pearce booked the six-man tag team match for WrestleMania 42 during tonight’s Raw from the Toyota Center in Houston.
IShowSpeed, Logan Paul, and Austin Theory will face The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) and LA Knight at the two-night event on April 18-19 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
The announcement came after Speed appeared on tonight’s show and once again inserted himself into the feud between The Vision and Knight. Speed assisted Theory during his singles match against Knight, making his alignment with The Vision unmistakable after weeks of claiming the brass knuckles incident was an accident.
From Rumor to Reality
The match had been rumored since last week after Dave Meltzer reported it was listed on internal WWE documents. The build began on the March 30 RAW at Madison Square Garden, when Speed accidentally struck Knight with brass knuckles during a World Tag Team Championship Street Fight.
Speed’s only prior in-ring experience came during the 2025 Men’s Royal Rumble, where he replaced an injured Akira Tozawa and was memorably speared by Bron Breakker. He also completed a training session at the WWE Performance Center with Randy Orton for his YouTube series, where he developed a moonsault finisher called “The Speed Drop.”
The World Tag Team Championships are expected to be on the line in the six-man tag, though WWE has not confirmed that stipulation. WrestleMania 42 airs live from Allegiant Stadium on April 18-19.
IShowSpeed is scheduled to appear on tonight’s WWE Raw, according to PWInsider, where LA Knight has arranged a face-to-face confrontation between the two. The show airs live from the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas.
The confrontation stems from a sequence of events that began on the March 30 episode of Raw at Madison Square Garden. During a Street Fight for the World Tag Team Championship, Speed accidentally struck Knight with brass knuckles, taking him out of the equation. The interference helped Logan Paul and Austin Theory defeat The Usos to capture the titles.
Knight Crashed Speed’s Livestream
Knight got his payback last week, showing up at Speed’s home and crashing his livestream. During what Speed had billed as a “Challenge Stream,” Knight confronted him about the brass knuckles incident. Speed attempted to apologize, but Knight wasn’t having it, ultimately launching the YouTuber through his streaming setup.
LA KNIGHT JUST THREW ISSHOWSPEED THROUGH HIS SET UP
Tonight’s confrontation is expected to further build toward making that match official. Speed’s only previous in-ring appearance came during the 2025 Men’s Royal Rumble, where he replaced an injured Akira Tozawa and was memorably speared by Bron Breakker.
Tonight’s Raw also features Seth Rollins opening the show, a CM Punk promo, Brock Lesnar and Oba Femi appearing in the same building, LA Knight vs. Austin Theory, and Finn Balor vs. JD McDonagh.
IShowSpeed returned to streaming with visible injuries after a confrontation with LA Knight that followed the streamer’s interference on WWE Monday Night RAW. Speed appeared on camera wearing a sling and displaying facial bruises from the incident.
The confrontation stems from Speed knocking out Knight with brass knuckles during a WWE World Tag Team Title match on RAW. Knight retaliated by crashing Speed’s livestream and slamming him into his streaming equipment.
Speed Addresses the Incident
During his return stream, Speed addressed the run-in with the former United States Champion. Despite the visible injuries, the streamer insisted the incident won’t stop him from continuing his activities.
“People want to come to my house, tarnish my name, tarnish my thing, breaking in—I don’t get it anymore. But that don’t stop me. That don’t stop Speed, baby,” Speed said during the broadcast.
He continued: “Today, right now, spam up the Ws—Speed is back in action. This week I’m hurt, and I need to get a win. LA Knight from WWE broke into my damn house and pushed me into my damn setup and then left.”

Rumors have circulated about a potential match at WWE WrestleMania 42 featuring Speed and The Vision against Knight and The Usos. However, WWE has not confirmed any such match at this time.
The ongoing storyline between Speed and Knight has generated attention across Speed’s involvement in WWE programming began with his appearance on RAW, where his interference directly impacted the tag team title match.
The Usos and LA Knight are reportedly scheduled for a six-man tag team match at WrestleMania 42. The match would pit the trio against The Vision (Logan Paul and Austin Theory) and YouTube star IShowSpeed.
Dave Meltzer reported on Wrestling Observer Live that the match is currently listed on internal planning documents.
“Right now, a match with Paul & Austin Theory & IShowSpeed vs The Usos & LA Knight is scheduled for the show,” Meltzer stated.
The report includes a contingency plan if IShowSpeed isn’t cleared to compete.
“If Speed isn’t ready, they could do a tag match with Knight and Speed in the corners, but right now, it’s the trios match that is on the match listing,” Meltzer explained.
IShowSpeed’s WWE Involvement
IShowSpeed has been involved in recent WWE programming, appearing on RAW in segments with The Vision. The YouTube personality even punched LA Knight with brass knuckles during the latest episode of Raw, setting up potential storyline justification for the WrestleMania match.
No official announcement has been made by WWE regarding the match.
El Grande Match Moved to AAA
Meltzer also addressed the status of a previously rumored mask vs. mask match. The bout between El Grande Americano and Original El Grande Americano will not take place at WrestleMania 42.
“The El Grande vs. El Grande match is going to happen for AAA. They’ve got a date booked for that match, so they’re not doing a mask vs. mask match between those two guys at WrestleMania, they’re saving that for AAA,” Meltzer reported.
WrestleMania 42 takes place on April 18-19 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
Tonight’s episode of Raw featured a chaotic tag team championship match with The Usos defending the title against Logan Paul and Austin Theory in a Street Fight. LA Knight sat at the ringside for this bout while Speed and Paul’s mom were also in attendance.
The champs looked to be in control of the bout after they put Theory through a table, but they failed to get the pin. Logan then went to his mom, who pulled out the Brass Knuckles from her purse. Before Paul could do anything, however, LA Knight attacked him from behind.
Logan Paul tried to grab onto Speed for support, but all he managed to do was pull the fellow YouTuber over the barricade and into the action. Speed grabbed the Brass Knuckles as Paul went down. He was contemplating what to do next when Knight reached for him from behind, leading to the YouTuber inadvertently knocking him out with the weapon.
The Vision star then got hold of the Knuckles again, and he managed to hit Jimmy Uso when the high-flying star was attempting a dive. Jey took out Logan as a result, but the distraction allowed Theory to get the pin on an unconscious Jimmy.
The new tag champs were seen celebrating the victory with Speed later in the night. The YouTuber star was worried about the turn of events, and Paul told him that he had enemies in WWE now, suggesting that his involvement with the company was not over.
YouTube sensation IShowSpeed has received a major endorsement from one of WWE’s all-time greats after completing an intensive training session at the WWE Performance Center.
The 20-year-old streamer, whose real name is Darren Jason Watkins Jr., competed in his first full WWE match as part of his YouTube series Speed Goes Pro. The fifth and final episode of the series, titled “SPEED GOES PRO, EPISODE 5: RANDY ORTON (WWE),” documents Speed’s two-day crash course in professional wrestling under the guidance of The Viper himself.
Speed trained alongside Performance Center coaches Fit Finlay and Matt Bloom, as well as Sheamus, learning fundamentals like running the ropes, hitting shoulder tackles, and selling moves. He even developed his own signature finisher—a moonsault he dubbed “The Speed Drop.”
Orton joined the training on day two to put Speed through his paces, including a brutal steel chair shot to the back that left the chair bent from the impact. Speed’s selling of the chair shot impressed Orton, proving he’d absorbed The Viper’s lessons on working a crowd.
The episode culminated with Speed facing NXT developmental talent Anthony Luke in front of a live audience at the Performance Center. Despite taking the loss, Speed’s performance left a strong impression on the 14-time World Champion.
“Speed, it takes a very long time to get good at your craft. You got a long way to go,” Orton said afterward. “But without a shadow of a doubt, I think you do have what it takes to be a WWE Superstar. He is ready. We’ve got something here. Mentally, he’s there. Physically, he’s got everything it takes. If he wants to stick with this journey, through hard work and dedication, he could one day be a full-time WWE Superstar if he wants it.”
From RKO Victim to Randy’s Approval
Speed’s WWE journey began at WrestleMania 40, where he appeared disguised as a Prime bottle during Logan Paul’s United States Championship match—only to receive an RKO from Orton through the announce table. The moment went viral, racking up over 100 million views across platforms.
His involvement escalated at Royal Rumble 2025, where Triple H gave him a spot in the Men’s Royal Rumble match as a last-minute replacement for Akira Tozawa. Speed managed to help Bron Breakker eliminate Otis before the Intercontinental Champion speared him and tossed him out of the ring—another clip that instantly went viral.
Living the Dream
For Speed, the PC training represented something deeply personal. In the episode, he opened up to Sheamus about his lifelong connection to wrestling.
“I watched that my whole life. Since my childhood. I started watching that when I was 8 years old,” Speed said. “Me and my little brother used to watch 20-minute video highlights of Jeff Hardy, Rey Mysterio, just high-flying from the top rope. I’m literally living the dream right now.”
The episode has already surpassed 1.5 million views since its release.
What’s Next for IShowSpeed in WWE?
Speed acknowledged he still has a long way to go, telling the camera: “I feel like everything y’all just seen was just a little step in the door. I need to have more knowledge. I need to learn more. I need to practice more and work for it.”
With Orton’s seal of approval and WWE reportedly interested in future collaborations following his Royal Rumble appearance, the door seems open for the 46-million-subscriber creator to eventually follow Logan Paul’s path from internet star to full-time sports entertainer.
The question is whether Speed is ready to commit to the grind.
IShowSpeed and Randy Orton may be doing much more together very soon after the streamer nearly hit an RKO \’outta nowhere.\’ At his Speed Goes Pro launch event, Speed teased hitting Orton with the RKO, but the pair aughed and shared a hug.
Orton then hinted at future plans with the YouTube star, saying: “I guess we’re doing something in a couple of weeks, right?” Speed agreed and asked if Orton was ready for what’s next. When Orton replied that he was, Speed lit up and declared: “Of course, bro! Let’s do it, man.”
What the pair have planned remains unclear, but they already share some WWE history. At WrestleMania 40 in April 2024, Orton dropped Speed with a highlight-reel RKO on top of the announce table during Logan Paul’s U.S. Title defense. While Paul retained that night, Orton’s spot with Speed became one of the weekend’s biggest talking points.
Speed’s cameos have quickly become a fan-favorite part of WWE programming. Whatever he and Orton have planned next, expect it to be a viral hit if Speed\’s past WWE cameos are any indication.
IShowSpeed\’s role in the 2025 Men\’s Royal Rumble didn\’t see him win a title match at WrestleMania, but the content creator has now set his sights on The Undertaker. During a recent stream, Speed watched a video from the Six Feet Under podcast where The Undertaker praised Speed\’s viral appearance at the February 1 Premium Live Event.
Despite the kind words from the WWE Hall of Famer, IShowSpeed was angry at the Phenom. Speed recalled The Undertaker battling Rey Mysterio in 2008 in a match that left Speed teary-eyed.
\”I still haven\’t forgiven what Undertaker did back in 2008 against Rey Mysterio. He made me cry! He genuinely made me cry.\”
Speed added that if he was to come face-to-face with the Phenom it \”ain\’t gonna be too cool\” for The Undertaker. Despite being made to cry as a child, Speed acknowledged that \”The Undertaker is a legend\” and gave a \”W for The Undertaker, bro.\”
Will Sasso is both a celebrity and a wrestling fan, but he doesn\’t want to see individuals like himself picking up victories in the squared circle. On the Insight podcast, Sasso shared his concerns about celebs, including the likes of Logan Paul and IShowSpeed, overshadowing full-time talent.
“I don’t want to see celebrities getting a leg up on wrestlers; wrestling should always be on top.\”
Though best known for his comedy, Sasso has had involvement in wrestling, including facing Bret \’Hitman\’ Hart during an episode of WCW Monday Nitro, a match Sasso would lose. Not just a name in WCW, Sasso appeared as a \’Stone Cold\’ Steve Austin impersonator during the Attitude Era and ate a stunner by the Texas Rattlesnake himself.
On the podcast, Sasso reflected on how his love for wrestling has influienced his impressions of legends including Ric Flair, Randy Savage, and Jesse Ventura.
“I love Jesse Ventura, so I will catch a story more often than not.\”
Sasso\’s love for wrestling extends to the modern day, as he expressed excitement with the current product as well as the returns of John Cena and The Rock. With Triple H at the creative helm, Sasso is excited to what\’s to come in the industry he has seen evolve over decades.
The WWE Royal Rumble featured a shocking collision between Intercontinental Champion Bron Breakker and internet sensation IShowSpeed, culminating in a thunderous spear that quickly went viral on social media.
Speed, the popular streamer and influencer, had made a brief yet memorable appearance in the Rumble match. Emerging with a neck brace and crutches, he was in no condition to withstand the force of Breakker’s devastating spear. The impact sent Speed flying across the ring, and the moment rapidly gained traction online, amassing millions of views across various social media platforms.
The unexpected attack left fans and commentators stunned. Adding to the intrigue, Breakker’s post-match comments suggested an open invitation for Speed’s return. Breakker stated that he would welcome Speed back to WWE should he seek revenge, hinting at a possible future storyline between the two.
Following the event, Speed admitted the experience was physically overwhelming. Speaking on his YouTube stream, he described the aftermath:
\”I ain\’t gonna cap. After this, the day after Bron Breakker speared me, I had probably one of the worst headaches. I couldn\’t move. I could not move, bro. I thought I was nearly about to die. Real talk. That was maybe one of the craziest, worst experiences ever. Real talk. I\’m being so serious.\”
Whether this was a one-off encounter or the beginning of a longer-term storyline remains to be seen.
THE ISHOWSPEED SPEAR IN GIF FORM MAKES IT LOOKS MORE BRUTAL ?
Social media star IShowSpeed made waves at the 2025 WWE Royal Rumble earlier this month, where he made his in-ring debut in the annual 30-man battle royal match. Naturally, his appearance produced a viral video clip – Speed getting nearly speared out of his boots by Bron Breakker, followed by a bone-crunching announce table slam from Otis.
Following the event, IShowSpeed made bold backstage comments, promising a return at the 2026 Royal Rumble in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. He also called out several WWE superstars, including Roman Reigns, Rey Mysterio, Dominik Mysterio—and Hall of Famer Mark Henry.
Mark Henry Threatens IShowSpeed
Henry, who last competed in WWE at the Greatest Royal Rumble in 2018, responded to IShowSpeed’s challenge on Busted Open Radio. In a clip shared on his Twitter account, the former World Heavyweight Champion issued a warning:
“Speed, you might want to be careful mentioning my name. You better ask your friends about me. I ain’t the one.”
The interaction adds intrigue to IShowSpeed’s potential WWE future, as reports indicate he was well-received backstage, with WWE officials reportedly open to further collaborations.
DJ Mark Henry
Meanwhile, Mark Henry is set to visit the UK from March 21-29, where he will be DJing at the Sweet Chin Disco events in cities including Manchester, Belfast, Nottingham, Glasgow, London, and Birmingham.
IShowSpeed\’s time in the 2025 Men\’s Royal Rumble match may have been brief, but the streamer\’s role has proven to be a viral hit. Speed, who had been invited to the show by Pat McAfee, replaced Akira Tozawa in the 30-Man match after he was attacked by the already-eliminated Carmelo Hayes.
Speed would aid Bron Breakker in eliminating Otis before being speared and thrown out by the reigning WWE Intercontinental Champion. In total, Speed\’s time in the Rumble was 56 seconds, the shortest of any Superstar competing at the event.
Despite his short Rumble run, Speed\’s work has proven to be a hit. As first shared by WrestleOps, between WWE\’s social media platform and those of the streamer, this cameo in the Men\’s Royal Rumble match surpassed 255 million views over the first 24 hours.
This response demonstrates the viral popularity of IShowSpeed, who appeared at last year\’s WrestleMania where he suffered an RKO at the hands of Randy Orton. Speed already has plans for the 2026 Royal Rumble, set to take place in January of next yearin Saudi Arabia.
With IShowSpeed being a bonafide hit this year, fans shouldn\’t count out seeing the popular content creator back in the ring. In the meantime, fans can find Speed on Twitch and YouTube, where he\’ll continue to entertain his millions of fans with his gaming streams and personality.
IShowSpeed\’s impromptu appearance in the 2025 Men\’s Royal Rumble match came to an end when he was launched out of the ring by Bron Breakker. Speaking backstage, a crutches-wielding Speed vowed that this won\’t be his last time in the ring.
\”Next Royal Rumble, I\’m calling out everybody. Roman Reigns, Mark Henry, Rey Mysterio, Dom. It don\’t matter, I\’m getting all of y\’all. Just wait until I start training out there.\”
The spear Speed ate by Bron Breakker isn\’t his first time being levelled by a WWE Superstar, as the YouTube took an RKO by Randy Orton at WrestleMania 40. When asked, Speed couldn\’t give a definitve answer as to which move hurts more, isntead simply saying \”they hurt.\”
The 2026 Royal Rumble has already been announced for January of next year and will take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The 39th annual Royal Rumble will be part of Riyadh Season, marking the first traditional Royal Rumble to take place outside of North America. Stay tuned for the latest on the Royal Rumble as IShowSpeed vows to do much better next year than his perfomance in 2025.
