Popular streamer iShowSpeed made a stunning surprise WWE debut at Wrestlemania 40.

On Sunday Logan Paul took to the ring to defend his United States Championship in a triple-threat match against Randy Orton and Kevin Owens.

In one crucial moment, while Paul was down, a punt kick seemed all set to see The Viper to victory.

However, while Orton was loading up to perform the move, a mysterious figure dressed in a blue Prime Bottle pulled Paul to safety.

The Viper took to the outside of the ring to confront the masked figure, who revealed himself as Speed.

The Twitch streamer went on to bark in Orton’s fans and shove the 44-year-old.

Naturally, the infuriated the WWE Champion responded by kicking Speed over before lifting him onto the announcement table to perform his signature RKO.

Speed maniacally barked Cristiano Ronaldo's name seconds before being plunged into the announcement table.

Orton then instinctively countered Owens’ pop-up powerbomb attempt with another RKO.

The distraction provided enough for Paul to recover and capitalise, with the Maverick lobbing Orton into a ring post before nailing him with his signature frog splash to retain his title.

Paul’s title reign now stands at 156 days, having claimed the belt from Rey Mysterio at WWE Crown Jewel back in November.

In the wake of that Mysterio triumph, Paul outlined a desire to push on and dominate the WWE.

“It's crazy,” he told the Mail Online. “I really don't know how to comprehend what my life has become. I grew up in a city where things like this didin't really happen. I believe in myself, I work my a** off and next thing I know I'm fighting Rey Mysterio for the US championship and I won it.

“It feels amazing. I'm shocked and I want to stay humble but f*** that, it's so much more fun to be arrogant about it! This [belt] ain't leaving my side. This is one of the biggest accomplishments of my life. I'm gonna take over this industry bro. I'm gonna be the best and I've got to keep work really hard.


“Something is so appetising about the idea of doing the best I can in this industry and I know the best I can is to become the face of the WWE, is to become the undisputed universal champion.

“I had an opportunity to do it last year at Crown Jewel against Roman (Reigns) and I did amazing. I'm still a rookie, I've been doing it for a year and a half, so imagine if I dedicate a little time to it.

“Imagine if I go to the performance centre in Orlando and train with the best? I have access to the best resources. It might be something I have to do, I'm all about legacy and perhaps my legacy is to be made to WWE.”

In the past, Paul has had his business partner, KSI, make a WWE appearance dressed as a Prime bottle, but few would have predicted Speed for the part.

The 19-year-old American has 23.5 million subscribers on YouTube and over 16 million followers on Instagram.
