Legendary WWE Wrestlemania XL, also known as Wrestlemania 40, was held over two nights at Philadelphia's Lincoln Financial Field on April 6 and 7, 2024. Notably, Legend Killer Randy Orton faced off against YouTube phenom Logan Paul. However, the enigmatic figure pulled Logan from the ring and stopped Randy Orton's brutal running kick to the back of his head. 

Later on, it turned out that the enigmatic man was IShowSpeed, a YouTube superstar who was making his very first WWE debut. Notably, Speed angered Randy Orton even more by making fun of and mocking him directly in front of him. However, the Viper cleaned the table for the commentators and set the stage for the match's epic conclusion after beating the YouTuber. In addition, Orton made sure to make fun of Speed in the same way that the latter had done before.

Speed later made public a video that showed he was seen with cervical neck support. The YouTuber went on to say that everything about the WWE was real and that he would need to stay a day in the hospital to heal. Consequently, the fans were astonished and delighted to see a superstar like IShowSpeed enter the WWE and put on a fantastic performance against Randy Orton, who is one of the industry's icons.

IShowSpeed quickly emerged as the backer

However, it must be thrilling for the fans to see more IShowSpeed in the WWE.

Fans thought that KSI had come back to WrestleMania XL to take more beatings dressed in the same outfit as the previous year. However, IShowSpeed quickly emerged as the backer. He took a few punches from the former WWE Champion before he got knocked out by RKO. 

This was a nod to the widespread belief among followers of combative sports that pro wrestling is "fake." Speed wants everyone to understand that wrestling is real, even if it is planned for, after suffering an RKO and other brutal attacks at the hands of Randy Orton.
