In Short
  • IShowSpeed accidentally punched LA Knight during a WWE Raw segment, leading to a viral moment.
  • The incident resulted in WWE planning a match featuring IShowSpeed at WrestleMania 42.
  • WWE's Instagram reel of the incident has garnered over 25 million views, making it the highest viewed RAW segment.

IShowSpeed was given a front-row seat for the world tag team titles match pitting The Usos against Logan Paul and Austin Theory on this week’s Raw at MSG. LA Knight, who’s had his issues with the Vision since last June, was a special guest commentator for it. ‘The Megastar’ was talking trash about Paul and Theory without getting involved in the proceedings of the street fight.

‘The Megastar’ had to take off his headset and reach over to Paul, who received a set of brass knuckles from his mother, who was nestled beside IShowSpeed. Knight blindsided ‘The Maverick’ and started hammering down on the IMPAULSIVE host. The latter grabbed Speed and consequently pulled him over the barricade to result in the streamer tumbling down at ringside.

Knight sent Paul face-first into the steel ring post and was walking back toward Speed, who, by then, had put on those brass knucks that had fallen off Paul’s hold. Speed accidentally clocked Knight with the brass knuckles when ‘The Defiant One’ tapped on his shoulder to check on him. The social media sensation was in utter disbelief and couldn’t believe it.

Speed kept apologizing and was repeatedly murmuring that he didn’t mean to hit LA Knight. As one would expect, IShowSpeed‘s latest WWE theatrics have gone viral on the internet. WWE’s upload of its reel on Instagram is nearing 17.5 million views as of writing. Moreover, Speed has separately uploaded it on his Instagram page, and it’s on the verge of reaching the 29 million mark.

The streamer’s involvement during the Usos vs. Vision street fight with tag titles on the line led to a title change. The brass knuckles that Speed abandoned at ringside were put to use by Logan Paul later on. ‘The Maverick’ took a swing at Jimmy Uso with knuckles on. Jey Uso, in response, dived onto Paul. But in the ring, ‘Big Jim’ ate a pinfall at the hands of Theory. And just like that, The Usos lost their tag team titles.

It quickly dawned upon IShowSpeed that it was the domino effect of his shenanigans from moments ago in the match. The Vision members went over to Speed to celebrate with him, but the latter was trying to convince Paul and Theory that his involvement was purely unintentional.

What is the current WrestleMania direction for IShowSpeed and LA Knight after their Raw debacle?

After IShowSpeed’s accidental knockout of LA Knight on this week’s Raw, it has been learned that WWE has plans for the YouTuber to have a match at WrestleMania 42. As per Dave Meltzer, the current working plan calls for a 6-man tag team match, which would see Speed join forces with Logan Paul and Austin Theory to take on LA Knight and The Usos at The Grandest Stage of Them All.

But it is contingent on IShowSpeed’s in-ring preparedness, which, if it doesn’t allow him to compete, WWE could pivot to a rematch between the Vision and the Usos with Speed and Knight in their respective corners. ‘The Megastar’ is hellbent on getting his lick back on Speed. Knight took to X and quoted a reply to WWE’s post depicting that the 21-year-old streamer was genuinely sorry about clocking Knight by accident.

The 43-year-old retorted by implying that he’ll definitely get his hands on IShowSpeed regardless of whether it was a mistake or not. Earlier in the night on Raw, Speed was seen pleading with GM Adam Pearce to ask Danhausen to uncurse him. The latter had put a curse on Speed a week before, and the latter’s life has been in shambles ever since then.

Danhausen demanded a million dollars, rights to Speed’s streaming services, a personal assistant, and a camera boy. IShowSpeed said he couldn’t do it before Pearce asked the streamer to calm down and enjoy front-row seats on Raw. The curse lives on, and it has led Speed to unwillingly joining the Vision with The Usos and LA Knight on a manhunt for him.
