iShowSpeed Takes Hard Hit at WWE Royal Rumble, Ends Stream Early

iShowSpeed, the popular YouTube streamer, took a brief but intense step into the ring at the WWE Royal Rumble, but his time in the spotlight quickly turned painful.

The Incident

Speed, who is no stranger to outlandish livestream moments, was pulled into the action during the event. He was introduced with all the flash and style of a true WWE wrestler, complete with flashing LED lights and a dramatic entrance.

However, things went south once he entered the ring. After performing a backflip, Speed was immediately speared by WWE wrestler Bron Breakker. He was then thrown out of the ring and landed directly over the announcers’ desk.

Injury and Aftermath

While the Royal Rumble moment was likely part of the scripted show, the injury was not. IShowSpeed was quickly helped off the floor and rushed into a golf cart after sustaining a significant leg injury, with a chunk of skin scraped off.

After the incident, Logan Paul checked on him backstage, breaking the act to make sure Speed was alright. Though Speed didn’t appear to be severely injured, the injury was still enough to cut his stream short.

Stream Success

Despite the painful experience, IShowSpeed’s stream of the WWE Royal Rumble already has over a million views, and it’s expected to keep climbing. His short-lived stint in the ring certainly made waves, proving that even a brief cameo can bring major attention.

It seems the risk paid off for the streamer—though it may take a while before his leg fully heals!
