IShowSpeed's WWE Journey: Randy Orton Impressed, Superstardom Awaits?
iShowSpeed BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
IShowSpeed has been making major waves in the wrestling world over the past few days. Most notably, the 20-year-old content creator just released a new episode of his Speed Goes Pro series featuring WWE legend Randy Orton, which he's calling one of his favorite episodes of the entire season. During the episode, Orton was genuinely impressed with Speed's athleticism and charisma after watching him compete in a full match at the WWE Performance Center. According to reports from Fightful Wrestling, Orton explicitly stated that he believes IShowSpeed has what it takes to become a WWE superstar if he's willing to put in the work.
This latest collaboration marks a significant moment in Speed's ongoing integration with WWE. His journey began at WrestleMania 40 where he appeared disguised as a Prime bottle during Logan Paul's United States Championship match. Then at Royal Rumble in February 2025, he actually competed in the main event match itself, stepping in as a substitute for injured wrestler Akira Tozawa. During that match, he managed to eliminate Otis before being taken out by a viral-worthy spear from Bron Breakker.
Beyond his wrestling endeavors, IShowSpeed continues to dominate the broader entertainment and streaming landscape. At the 2025 Esports Awards held in Las Vegas, he was crowned Streamer of the Year, beating out major competitors like Kai Cenat. Rolling Stone recently named him the Most Influential Creator of 2025, and at the Kids' Choice Awards, he won Favorite Gamer. According to HypeAuditor's data, his Instagram account boasts nearly 39 million followers with an engagement rate of 14.33 percent, and his estimated monthly earnings from Instagram alone range from 236,500 to 324,000 dollars.
The Speed Goes Pro WWE episode that just aired featured additional appearances from Drew McIntyre, Sheamus, and other major WWE stars who attended the series' launch party. This continued visibility and positive reception from wrestling's biggest names suggests that WWE executives remain genuinely interested in future collaborations with the streaming sensation. His ability to connect with live audiences while maintaining his entertainment appeal has clearly impressed backstage decision makers, positioning him as a unique bridge between streaming culture and professional wrestling.
