WWE offered a closer look at IShowSpeed’s preparation for WrestleMania 42 during the April 13, 2026, episode of RAW, airing new footage that hinted at just how seriously the streamer is taking his first official match.
The segment didn’t reveal everything outright. It pulled back the curtain just enough to show that Speed isn’t walking into WrestleMania blind.
Whether he’s ready for the bright lights, however, is another story entirely.
IShowSpeed training footage airs ahead of WrestleMania 42 debut match
The video aired following the Brock Lesnar segment and featured IShowSpeed alongside his WrestleMania partners Logan Paul and Austin Theory.
The trio discussed their upcoming six-man tag team match against The Usos and LA Knight, with Speed openly admitting, “I’m not a wrestler.”
That honesty didn’t last long — at least not without pushback. Paul and Theory encouraged him, leading into a training montage designed to build both confidence and credibility.
By the end of the segment, Speed declared, “I’m ready,” though WrestleMania tends to separate talk from action quicker than a three-count.
The match itself is set to open Night One of WrestleMania 42, placing immediate pressure on Speed in his in-ring debut. He will team with Paul and Theory — collectively aligned with The Vision — against Jimmy and Jey Uso alongside LA Knight.
The bout stems from weeks of escalating tension. Speed previously played an unintended role in costing LA Knight matches, including an incident involving brass knuckles that helped Paul and Theory capture the World Tag Team Titles. That chaos eventually led to the six-man match being made official by Adam Pearce on the April 6 edition of RAW.
Despite his lack of official match experience, Speed has been training for months, including sessions with established WWE names. Still, training montages can only take you so far — WrestleMania is where plans either hit their mark or miss by a mile.
With the stage set, Speed now faces the ultimate test — because at WrestleMania, there’s no buffering, only performing.
