IShowSpeed broke WWE protocol before being RKO’d by Randy Orton – WWE – SPORTbible
Orton hit Owens with an RKO and seemed on course to win the match but Paul ran in just in time to send him out so he could hit the frog splash to score the pinfall to defend his title.
Speaking after the match, Triple H hailed Paul’s showing in the ring at WrestleMania 40.
\”I congratulate Logan Paul on another epic outing,\” he said.
\”You get in the ring with Randy Orton and Kevin Owens, and you put on that kind of performance, whether you walk out as champion or you don’t what a performance.
\”[He’s] just a guy that every time he goes out there, he proves why his choice to be here in the WWE and not be doing the other things he was before have sort of cemented him as a WWE superstar. He’s so good.\””])
Speed’s emotion was there for all to see, as he shouted: \”You got to f***ing stop this bro! You’ve got to be lying bro. No way you gave me this! No way this dude gave me this Starship!\”
He then got in the car with Paul and took it for a drive – and even running over the bow that was wrapped in didn’t dampen the excitement.
Footage also showed KSI’s reaction to finding out that Speed was taking his place in the Prime bottle costume – and he wasn’t impressed.
While the RKO might have dealt some damage, it was a successful night for both Paul and Speed – as the former retained his United States Championship, and the latter got a £66,000 truck. Not a bad WrestleMania 40.”])
“Something is so appetising about the idea of doing the best I can in this industry and I know the best I can is to become the face of the WWE, is to become the undisputed universal champion.
“I had an opportunity to do it last year at Crown Jewel against Roman (Reigns) and I did amazing. I’m still a rookie, I’ve been doing it for a year and a half, so imagine if I dedicate a little time to it.
“Imagine if I go to the performance centre in Orlando and train with the best? I have access to the best resources. It might be something I have to do, I’m all about legacy and perhaps my legacy is to be made to WWE.”
In the past, Paul has had his business partner, KSI, make a WWE appearance dressed as a Prime bottle, but few would have predicted Speed for the part.
The 19-year-old American has 23.5 million subscribers on YouTube and over 16 million followers on Instagram.”])
If the concept does come to fruition, anyone involved would need to undergo some serious training.
Internet sensation Paul can attest to the work required and is now reaping the rewards as one of WWE’s top superstars.
It’s never been done before under the WWE umbrella but has been prominent in the world of boxing.
After sacrificing himself for Paul’s victory last week, Speed was gifted a £66,000 Tesla truck by the Maverick and could not contain his excitement.
After seeing the vehicle, he screamed: \”You got to f***ing stop this bro! You’ve got to be lying bro. No way you gave me this! No way this dude gave me this Starship!\””])
IShowSpeed broke a WWE protocol during his clash with Randy Orton at WrestleMania 40.
Speed appeared at WrestleMania 40 to help Logan Paul in his triple threat match against Orton and Kevin Owens for the WWE United States Championship.
He arrived at the Lincoln Financial Field in a Prime suit as he helped his pal beat Orton and Owens to win the triple threat showdown.
But the 19-year-old’s showing at WrestleMania 40 came at a price as he was put through a table by ‘The VIper’ in an incredible moment.

In trademark fashion, the streamer barked in the face of Orton, who responded by kicking him over before taking of his Prime suit.
From there, the WWE star lifted Speed on top of a table before performing his signature RKO move.
However, during their interaction, Speed broke a WWE protocol.
He could be heard swearing, dropping the F-bomb on multiple occasions, which were bleeped out on the broadcast.
