WrestleMania XL was a one-of-a-kind event. It was one of the biggest PLEs in WWE history. From WWE legends to popular celebrities, all were involved in making it an ecstatic event. One such celebrity was popular social media sensation IShowSpeed, who showed up during the United States Championship match. Recently, Logan Paul revealed how he convinced WWE to involve the YouTuber in his match.

Speaking on his Impaulsive podcast, Logan Paul revealed that it took a little ‘finessing’ to convince WWE to have Speed at WrestleMania. He divulged that he told WWE that he has this young creator who is a viral teenager on social media. Also, The Maverick hilariously explained to WWE how the YouTuber is known for his over-the-top energy. Besides, Paul also called IShowSpeed an internet phenomenon who has massive popularity among young fans.

It took a little finessing for us to convince them that we had this young creator, who is still a teenager, he’s 19, who is just an internet phenom. Everything he touches goes crazy viral because he has that charismatic, contagious energy.

The 19-year-old initially made his appearance as a PRIME mascot. He tried to aid the United States Champion. However, he got punished for his troubles with a devastating RKO on the announcer’s table. Later on, Speed broke his silence on the viral RKO and revealed his experience. It was one of those moments where the lines between pop culture and sports entertainment were blurred.

Despite getting annihilated by Orton, the appearance of the YouTuber allowed Paul to successfully retain his title. It won’t be an understatement to say that Speed took the bullet for the Social Media Megastar. Thereafter, the good times have been rolling for The Maverick, as he also announced that he is expecting his first child.

The relationship between Paul and the couple has been bitter since the beginning. Last year, the two stars faced each other at SummerSlam. It was quite an amazing match where the United States Champion emerged victorious. Irvin has been at loggerheads with the YouTuber ever since then and hasn’t missed the opportunity to take shots at him.
