IShowSpeed teases WWE WrestleMania 42 appearance

WWE IShowSpeed

In a recent appearance on Yahoo Sports Daily, YouTuber/Streamer IShowSpeed opened up about his WWE journey, before dropping teases about a potential WrestleMania 42 appearance.

Last year at Royal Rumble 2025, IShowSpeed made a surprising Royal Rumble appearance when he replaced Akira Tozawa. He followed it up by eliminating Otis before taking a spear from Bron Breakker and getting eliminated. Talking about that experience, Speed opened up about the chances of making an in-ring return.

“Man, I don’t know. I mean, We got WrestleMania coming up, so you may be seeing me in there, you may be not. I’m just not trying to get beat up. But, we’ll see, we’ll see. I got beat up too much times. I can’t, my body can’t take that anymore.”

When asked if one goes through a special training to get “beat up”, Speed added humor and answered the question, “I stream. That’s my special training.”

Apart from last year’s Royal Rumble, he also appeared on WrestleMania 40, where he took the RKO bump from Randy Orton on the announcer’s table.
