WWE fans have expressed huge concerns after Triple H made an unprecedented offer to iShowSpeed for the upcoming Royal Rumble.
The 2025 edition of the classic wrestling event takes place on 1 February at a sold-out Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.
It is the 38th annual Royal Rumble but it will be a historic one as it will be the WWE's first premium live event to take place live around the world on Netflix as part of the game-changing $4 billion deal.
Four matches have been announced for the show, including two Royal Rumble matches - where the winner will receive a title shot at WrestleMania.
But it's also been confirmed that streamer iShowSpeed will be present for the stacked show, with WWE chief content officer Triple H extending the invitation to the 20-year-old on FaceTime.

"You can have access backstage, you can come talk to all the superstars, you can stream with them. I'll even let you come to Gorilla Position and sit with me and stream up there if you want," Triple H told Speed on FaceTime.
Speed, who made an appearance at WrestleMania 40 when he received an RKO on the announce table from Randy Orton, asked about streaming with 16-time world champion Cena - leading Triple H to telling him, "If you can see him, you can stream him".

However, with the unparalleled level of access Speed is going to be getting - fans are worried that he will spoil surprises at an event which is typically full of them.
One fan on X wrote: "Aye, I'm just saying, you better have some boundaries being put or else he might spoil the entirety of Rumble on his stream lol.
A second said: “I’m not ready for IShowSpeed to spoil the Royal Rumble.”
A third added: “Imagine if he actually leaks the surprise entrances."

A fourth agreed: "If this man spoils anything while streaming pls keep it to yourself."
A final user commented: 'OH MY GOD ITS JEFF HARDY IM A BIG FAN' - Speed Backstage before the men's royal rumble."
Speed is the reigning Streamer of the Year and his most-viewed stream was back in September and was watched by 1.04 million people.
