Logan Paul discusses IShowSpeed’s appearance at WWE WrestleMania 40.
Much like WrestleMania 39, Logan Paul entered WrestleMania 40 with the accompaniment of a blue PRIME bottle mascot. After KSI took on the responsibility last year, this year’s mascot eventually revealed himself to be American YouTuber IShowSpeed. According to Paul, IShowSpeed’s WrestleMania 40 appearance came together after his continued pitches to WWE management.
“When I was pitching him to the WWE, it took a little massaging, took a little finessing for us to convince them that we had this young creator who, by the way, is still a teenager,” Paul said on the latest episode of Impaulsive. “The kid’s 19 years old, who’s just an internet phenom. Everything he touches goes crazy viral because he’s got that charismatic, contagious energy … He’s a sensation. He’s YouTube internet sensation.”
After revealing himself as the PRIME mascot, IShowSpeed came face-to-face with Randy Orton, who was one of the opponents vying for Paul’s United States Championship that night. Unfortunately for IShowSpeed, Orton sent him crashing onto the announce table, courtesy of an RKO. Despite Orton’s electrifying RKO to IShowSpeed, though, it was Paul who emerged victorious via a pinfall on Kevin Owens.
Logan Paul later rewarded IShowSpeed for his efforts by gifting him a Tesla Cypertruck valued between $81,895 to $101,985.
