As previously reported, WWE is planning for iShowSpeed to make an appearance at this month's WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Discussions regarding his participation in this major event have already taken place, and his substantial online presence—boasting over 149 million followers across Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, and Twitch—likely contributes to the company’s interest in featuring him.
Speed has been involved in WWE programming in recent weeks. Notably, he was cursed by Danhausen on the March 23 episode of RAW. During this past Monday's RAW, Speed was seen in the front row when Logan Paul and Austin Theory challenged The Usos for the World Tag Team Championship in a Street Fight. Speed inadvertently got involved in the match when LA Knight, a guest commentator, intervened at ringside to prevent Paul from using brass knuckles given to him by his mother. This led to a scuffle, during which Speed fell over the barricade and accidentally knocked out Knight with the brass knuckles. Paul then used the knuckles on Jimmy Uso, allowing Theory to pin Jimmy and capture the World Tag Team Title for The Vision.
According to Dave Meltzer in the latest edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, this angle was created to set up a 6-Man Tag Team Match at WrestleMania 42, where iShowSpeed would team up with Paul and Theory to take on Knight and The Usos. Meltzer also mentioned that if Speed isn't able to get ready in time for the match, it would likely turn into a standard tag team contest between the newly crowned World Tag Team Champions and The Usos, with Speed and Knight in their respective corners.
The only time iShowSpeed has competed in a WWE ring was during the 2025 Men’s Royal Rumble Match, where he replaced an injured Akira Tozawa and was quickly eliminated after being Speared by Bron Breakker, a moment that went viral on social media.
