ISHOWSPEED hit with an RKO through a table in a Prime suit as Logan Paul steals WrestleMania win

After Paul failed to fend off opponents Randy Orton and Kevin Owens under his own power – including a pair of brass knuckles – Speed ​​attempted to lend a helping hand.

The 19-year-old, however, found out the hard way that going through Orton in particular rarely ends well.

The Viper, enraged by the American’s interference, launched an attack on him that ended with a trademark RKO through a ringside commentary table.

The chaos of it all ended up helping Paul, though, and thanks to a frog splash, he pinned Owens in the middle of the ring to retain his title.

The victory ended a turbulent affair that initially saw Owens and Orton team up against Paul before ultimately being forced to face each other in the triple threat affair.

Orton showed his true colors by turning first, attempting to land an RKO on Owens before the Canadian escaped.

Paul ultimately prevailed after also pinning both rivals with brass knuckles and attempting a top rope moonsault, all before Speed ​​got involved.

This continues Paul’s tenure holding American gold that began in November following a victory over Rey Mysterio.

WWE veteran Randy Orton showed no mercy to the football influencer and left him laying with an RKO through a table.

Despite being a vicious on-screen rival to Paul, Owens said earlier in WrestleMania week that Paul had impressed many of his WWE colleagues by putting in the effort necessary to transition into the wrestling world. professional.

He told talkSPORT: “(No one) can deny how hard he works in the ring and how much of himself he gives when he’s out there.

“He wants to make everything he does as memorable and as good as possible.

“That’s the right attitude to earn respect in WWE, and he has the respect of a lot of people.”

This outing was a third WrestleMania for the 29-year-old after a first appearance in 2022 teaming with The Miz to defeat Rey and Dominik Mysterio.

At WrestleMania 39 last year, he was defeated by Seth Rollins, who, prior to Paul’s match in Philadelphia, had lost his world heavyweight title to Drew McIntyre.

McIntyre’s reign would last less than six minutes, however, after an attack from CM Punk and a cash-in from Money in the Bank holder Damian Priest.
