IShowSpeed Says He Plans to Take WWE More Seriously After WrestleMania 42 In-Ring Debut

IShowSpeed is leaving the door wide open for a deeper involvement with WWE. The massively popular streaming personality, fresh off his in-ring debut at WrestleMania 42, appeared on The Pat McAfee Show and made clear that his relationship with the company may just be getting started.

At WrestleMania 42, Speed teamed with Austin Theory and Logan Paul in a six-man tag match against LA Knight and The Usos — marking his first WWE match outside of the Royal Rumble. The appearance continued a growing presence for the content creator within WWE programming, and it appears he’s taken notice of where things could go from here.

During his conversation with McAfee, Speed indicated that his attitude toward WWE is shifting. “I think I’ll eventually take WWE a bit more serious and immerse myself into it,” he said, suggesting that what fans have seen so far may only be the beginning of his involvement with the promotion.

It’s a notable statement coming from someone with one of the largest social media followings on the planet. Speed’s crossover appeal has made him a natural fit alongside other celebrity-adjacent WWE figures like Logan Paul, and his WrestleMania slot underscored just how seriously WWE is taking his presence. Whether that translates into a more committed on-screen role — more matches, a storyline, or an extended run — remains to be seen, but Speed’s own words suggest the motivation is there.

For WWE, keeping a talent with Speed’s reach engaged and enthusiastic is a no-brainer. All signs point to this being a long-term relationship rather than a one-off novelty act.
