YouTuber and Twitch streamer IShowSpeed has dropped a hint about his future in the squared circle, but it is said that these flirtations are not new. He first burst onto the scene in WWE at WrestleMania 40 in 2024, where he made a cameo dressed as a bottle of Prime energy drink, the beverage brand co-founded by WWE star Logan Paul. Former WWE Champion Randy Orton ambushed the costumed creator with his signature RKO, sending Speed crashing through the announce table that has reportedly racked up over 100 million views across platforms.
On October 12, 2025, the 20-year-old IShowSpeed, known for his explosive energy and viral antics, shared an Instagram story from the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida. He appeared to be dressed in a WWE-branded
shirt. Speed posed ringside, gripping a clapperboard emblazoned with “Speed Goes Pro”, the title of his new YouTube series. The post, which quickly amassed millions of views, has ignited speculation that the streamer is gearing up for a deeper dive into WWE’s universe, potentially marking a pivotal chapter in his reported burgeoning crossover career.
In September 2025, IShowSpeed improvised his own RKO to repay the favour to Randy Orton
In one of his recent appearances, during the premier of “Speed Goes Pro”, IShowSpeed attempted to repay the favor, lunging at Orton with his own improvised RKO. The Viper, ever the showman, laughed it off, tweeting later, “Kid's got heart. Almost had me.” “Speed Goes Pro” is a six-episode premium YouTube series which reportedly catapults the streamer into the elite echelons of sports. Debuting on September 30, the show chronicles Speed's quest to “go pro” in a different discipline each installment, training under the tutelage of global icons before facing off in challenges.
Episode 1, already a smash hit reportedly with over 25 million views, saw Speed lace up for American football, shadowing NFL GOAT Tom Brady. Under the eye of Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner and trainer Clif Marshall, Speed drilled NFL Combine staples, clocking a personal-best 4.49-second 40-yard dash after a string of comedic flops and capped it with a defensive showdown against the seven-time Super Bowl champ. “Tom Brady just roasted me, bro!” Speed reportedly yelped in the episode's viral clip, his signature bark echoing through the gridiron gauntlet.
