WrestleMania 40 became the biggest WrestleMania of all time. There were multiple highlight reel moments this year at Showcase of Immortal; one such moment came from the triple threat match for the United States Championship between Randy Orton, Logan Paul, and Kevin Ownes. 

Fans all around the world were shocked when popular streamer Ishowspeed made his WWE debut at WrestleMania 40. Logan Paul brought a Prime Bottle costumed man with him last time. KSI was inside the PRIME Bottle costume when Logan faced Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 39. 

During the ending moments of the match, Randy Orton was about to capture the WWE United States Championship, and PRIME Bottleman pulled Randy Orton's leg and ruined his chance of winning the championship.

Then PRIME Bottleman revealed his identity, and inside the PRIME Bottle was popular streamer Ishowspeed, who started his iconic barking on The Viper. Randy Orton was furious; he kicked Ishowspeed and gave him an RKO on the announcer's table. 

Recently, United States Champion Logan Paul revealed how he convinced WWE to use Ishowspeed and Randy Orton in the segment on the recent episode of Impulsive, "When I was pitching him to the WWE. It took a little massaging. It took a little finessing for us to convince them that we had this young creator, who is still a teenager, he's 19, who is just an internet phenom. Everything he touches goes crazy viral because he has that charismatic, contagious energy."
