On Wednesday, Bodyslam+ claimed that there have been discussions behind the scenes in WWE regarding IShowSpeed’s participation in WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas next month. At this time, it has not been confirmed whether the 21-year-old is being considered for a match or simply an appearance, but he now joins the list of celebrities potentially taking part in “The Biggest Stage of Them All.” In addition to American performer Jelly Roll lately appearing on “WWE SmackDown” to presumably set up a match at WrestleMania, former NFL quarterback Tom Brady is rumored to appear at the two-night event after criticizing WWE star Logan Paul and mocking the scripted nature of professional wrestling.

IShowSpeed has competed in one WWE match so far, having been a surprise entrant at the 2025 Royal Rumble, where Bron Breakker famously speared him before being eliminated. IShowSpeed was also involved at WrestleMania 40, where he suffered an RKO at the hands of Randy Orton while dressed as a Prime Energy mascot. Last October, the YouTube star was on hand at the WWE Performance Center to film an episode of “Speed Goes Pro” with Orton, which is a series where Speed tries to keep up with some of the world’s best athletes in their respective sports.
Across Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, and Twitch, IShowSpeed has amassed 149 million followers over the past 10 years.
