New crowd angle shows just how brutal the move was that destroyed Speed at the WWE Royal Rumble

A new angle of the move that injured Speed at the Royal Rumble has emerged – and it's absolutely brutal.

IShowSpeed – real name Darren Jason Watkins Jr – unexpectedly entered the ring after he was invited to stream the event backstage by WWE legend Triple H.

At first, it was thought that he was merely a guest at the event until he replaced the number eight entrant - Akira Tozawa - of the 30-man Royal Rumble after he was ambushed during his entrance.

The doctors told Triple H that Akira, 39, could not continue and ‘The Game’ took drastic action then calling for Speed, 20, to enter the Royal Rumble.

Things were going surprisingly well when the streamer helped throw Otis – a 330lbs wrestler – over the top rope before celebrating with a Cristiano Ronaldo-like ‘Sui’ in front of the adoring crowd at the Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana.

However, his success was short-lived as Speed was soon eliminated after he was brutally speared into the canvas by current WWE Intercontinental Champion Bron Breakker.

Breakker, 27, proceeded to throw Speed out of the ring before Otis was there to catch him, which broke his fall.

But the drama did not stop there as Otis swiftly decided to throw Speed over the announce desk, leaving the streamer visibly in pain.

A video later emerged showing the extent of his injuries with a huge gash visible on his leg - causing him to walk with a limp.

A new angle of the incident has now emerged, which you can watch below, and fans were quick to give their thoughts on social media.

One fan said: "If you couldn't tell I was SHOCKED lmao."

Another added: "He was shown speed!"

A third commented: "Bron Breakker just dominated, what a move."

While a fourth exclaimed: "Bro nearly landed in row z."

As a fifth praised: "Bro speed the goat for actually going out there."

Speed previously appeared at Wrestlemania 40 and he didn't fare much better on that occasion, he was RKO'd onto the announce table by Randy Orton and left the venue in neck brace.
