At Wrestlemania 40, a surprising turn of events unfolded when IShowSpeed, a globally recognized YouTuber and streamer, came to the aid of Logan Paul, the reigning United States Champion.
Paul was defending his title in a high-stakes triple threat match against formidable opponents, Kevin Owens and Randy Orton. After enduring a severe onslaught from both Orton and Owens, it appeared that Paul’s championship reign was on the brink of collapse.
However, IShowSpeed intervened, effectively altering the course of the match. Disguised as a Prime bottle, Speed escorted Orton out of the arena, thereby leveling the playing field. This unexpected move prompted commentator Michael Cole to exclaim, “Logan Paul was just pulled out of the ring by the Prime bottle”.
The tension escalated as Speed and Orton locked eyes, with Speed growling at Orton throughout their standoff1. Orton retaliated with a powerful kick that sent the popular streamer crashing to the ground. Undeterred, Speed retaliated by removing his Prime outfit and confronting Orton at the commentary table.
The confrontation reached its climax when Orton delivered a devastating RKO to Speed, leaving commentator Pat McAfee to question whether Speed was “still alive”. Despite Speed’s intervention backfiring, the distraction provided Paul with a crucial opportunity to recover.
Ultimately, Paul managed to retain the coveted United States Championship, marking a successful reign that has spanned over six months. This victory was a testament to Paul’s resilience and strategic prowess, further solidifying his status in the WWE.
In the aftermath of this thrilling performance, it’s clear that Paul owes a debt of gratitude to Speed for his unexpected intervention. Fans and commentators alike will undoubtedly be eagerly anticipating future matches, especially given the unpredictable nature of these events.
