The YouTuber, whose real name is Darren Watkins Jr, was allowed to enter the 2025 Royal Rumble match by Triple H (Paul Levesque) after Carmelo Hayes attacked Akira Tozawa ahead of the battle royale elimination match. Injured Tozawa was ruled unfit to enter the contest and Triple H decided to offer IShowSpeed the spot.Â

The youngster, who readily accepted, arrived at the ring as entrant number 8. Sprinting to slide through under the bottom rope, he joined up with Bron Breakker to eliminate Otis from the famous competition. But his stay was cut short by Breakker himself, who hit Speed with a lethal spear. Excited after eliminating Otis, Speed delivered a signature backflip inside the ring, only to be hit by Breakker who started running the ropes. However, Speed's bad luck didn't end there. Â
Bron Breakker then promptly lifted IShowSpeed over his head, and threw him over the top rope directly into Otis' arms. An angry Otis then tossed IShowSpeed behind his head onto the announce table, leaving him motionless.Â
It was during a post-match interaction that IShowSpeed told WWE about his intention to make a comeback to Royal Rumble. "I don't know why keep doing as to me if I have more time, I promise you, I'd have done way more than I did. Next Royal Rumble, I am calling out everybody --Â Roman Reigns, Mark Henry, Rey Mysterio, Dom... It doesn't matter whom you are... Just wait till I start the train and out there, you know what I'm saying... this is not a joke..." the popular streamer, known for his eccentric behaviour said.
When the anchor asked if Randy Orton's RKO or Bron Breakker's spear hurt more, Speed said they both hurt and he could hardly walk after his elimination. "If that is what people want to hear, they both hurt," he said. In April 2024, "The Viper" Randy Orton had hit his signature RKO on Logan Paul's friend IShowSpeed on the announce table when he tried to provoke him during the United States Championship bout.
