One of the most memorable moments at WWE Royal Rumble on Saturday was iShowSpeed’s surprise appearance in the men's match. You can read about how it all went down here, but let’s focus on the post-match reactions and comments.

After the match, iShowSpeed posted a photo of himself on crutches, wearing a protective neck brace. There’s no need to worry—he didn’t suffer any serious injuries. His behavior actually shows great respect for wrestling traditions.

iShowSpeed did a fantastic job maintaining kayfabe—the illusion that everything in the ring is real. That said, it would be a mistake to think he wasn’t in pain. Wrestling hurts, even when moves are executed correctly, which is exactly why they shouldn’t be attempted at home.

In his post-match interview, iShowSpeed said he’d be willing to return for Royal Rumble next year. Honestly, it would be great to see him in the ring for a longer time. WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H also praised the streamer during the press conference.

We fully agree with the praise—a true love for wrestling is shown by the moves someone is willing to take. And iShowSpeed? He’s definitely got what it takes!
