IShowSpeed put through his paces ahead of WrestleMania debut


Popular YouTuber and live streamer IShowSpeed is all set to wrestle his first WrestleMania match. He will join forces with The Vision’s Logan Paul and Austin Theory to take on the team of The Usos and LA Knight. The 21-year-old is being put through his paces ahead of The Showcase of the Immortals.

On the March 30 edition of Monday Night RAW, Logan Paul and Austin Theory challenged The Usos for the World Tag Team Championship in a Street Fight. Towards the end of the bout, Speed accidentally took out LA Knight with brass knuckles before The Maverick used the same brass knuckles to flatten Jimmy Uso, allowing Austin Theory to secure the win and the gold for the team. Consequently, a tag match involving all six men was announced for WrestleMania the following week on the red brand.

Earlier today, Logan Paul took to Instagram Stories to post a clip from training. In the video, IShowSpeed and Austin Theory could be seen practicing a double suplex. The 31-year-old noted that the real-life Darren Watkins Jr. was ready for WrestleMania 42.

“@ishowspeed is Wrestlemania ready,” Paul wrote.

IShowSpeed made his in-ring debut at WWE Royal Rumble 2025. He entered the Men’s Royal Rumble Match at number 8, replacing Akira Tozawa, who was taken out by Carmelo Hayes before he could enter the squared circle. Speed teamed up with Bron Breakker briefly to eliminate Otis before The Unpredictable Badass hit the debutant with a vicious spear and threw him out of the ring.

The popular live streamer also trained at the WWE Performance Center in November 2025 as a part of his YouTube series, Speed Goes Pro. 14-time world champion Randy Orton was his mentor and trainer.

Popular WWE Superstar has high praise for IShowSpeed

During his appearance on The Mark Hoke Show, Austin Theory shared his honest opinion about IShowSpeed.

The member of The Vision noted that Speed started grinding at a very young age and had attained a massive social media following. He further lauded the YouTuber and noted that he brought something unique to the table.

“When we talk about IShowSpeed, that’s another one that started so young grinding, and he’s only 21 and dude’s got almost 50 million followers just on Instagram. Just his platform and what he brings to the table is so unique, and I feel with him, especially going into this match and just the little stuff you’ve seen on TV, not the Spear where he almost passed away, but this week you see him jump over LA Knight. Speed, that’s nothing for him, he jumps over cars.” said Austin Theory.

It will be interesting to see how Speed performs on his WrestleMania debut.
