American Youtuber and rapper Darren Jason Watkins Jr., popularly known as IShowSpeed, attended WrestleMania 40 to promote Logan Paul and KSI’s co-owned energy drink Prime. However, the popular rapper ended up getting an RKO from Randy Orton on the announce table. 

However, Speed is to blame for his fate. He had entered the game as a dummy drink, wrapped in Prime Energy's packaging cover. His face was not even visible. Everything was going well, until he intervened in the match, trying to save Logan Paul from Randy Orton.

In the final moments of the match, Randy Orton was trying to perform a finishing move on Logan Paul, and that’s when Speed pulled Paul outside the ring. Orton was confused and went outside to see who the man behind the cover was. It turned out to be Speed, and then he ended up being RKO’ed. Watch it below:


Fans React to IShowSpeed Getting RKO 

The WWE fans had a hilarious take on Speed getting hit with an RKO unexpectedly. One user wrote, “Speed on WWE TV is hilarious.” Another wrote, “It was fkiiinggg UNREAL.” A third said, “I'm shocked (laughing). Another user asked about the need for IShowSpeed at WrestleMania 40. “Someone please explain to me what the hell Speed is doing at Wrestle Mania,” he wrote. 


Logan Paul Has The Last Laugh

Even though Speed might have been hit by an RKO, which left him unconscious, Logan Paul ultimately won the Triple Threat match and retained his United States Championship. The match lasted nearly twenty minutes, in which Randy Orton and Kevin Owens had some great moves delivered.  But Logan Paul had the last laugh coming over Randy Orton.

It was basically Randy Orton’s revenge match against Logan Paul, and it was expected to be a singles match. Kevin Owens was added into the contest, making it a triple contest. Logan Paul had cost Randy Orton his chance at the WWE World Heavyweight Championship when he knocked Orton out at Elimination Chamber 2024. 

Orton was miffed with Paul and it was expected that the two would square off against each other at WrestleMania 40. However, Logan Paul came in victorious at WrestleMania 40 and retained his United States Championship.
