Former WWE Star Claims Key Role in IShowSpeed’s WrestleMania 40 Appearance

The Backstory Behind IShowSpeed’s RKO Spot

In an unexpected revelation, Trevor Lee shared on Instagram that he played a crucial role in training IShowSpeed for his memorable WrestleMania 40 appearance. The viral streamer participated in a surprise segment during Logan Paul’s United States Championship defense against Kevin Owens and Randy Orton. Dressed as a PRIME Energy bottle, IShowSpeed’s interference backfired when he fell victim to a stunning RKO from Randy Orton through the announcer’s table.

Lee posted a photo of himself and IShowSpeed standing in front of a WWE ring, with the caption: “That time I taught the Streamer of the Year how to take an RKO.”

How the Spot Came Together

Logan Paul pitched the idea of having IShowSpeed appear at WrestleMania 40, which added excitement to the match. The preparation for the spot required expert training, and Trevor Lee stepped in to ensure that IShowSpeed knew how to safely take the RKO. This highlights Lee’s in-ring knowledge and his continued impact on the wrestling world, even after his WWE release.

The Impact of Celebrity Involvement

WWE has a long history of integrating celebrities into its major events to enhance mainstream appeal. IShowSpeed’s successful appearance at WrestleMania 40 exemplified how well-prepared celebrity moments can create memorable entertainment for fans. Lee’s role in this behind-the-scenes preparation underscores the importance of professional training in delivering these high-profile moments.

Trevor Lee’s Current Career Path

Since his WWE departure, Trevor Lee has made waves on the independent wrestling circuit. His involvement with IShowSpeed demonstrates his continued relevance and expertise.
