The World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) has confirmed that popular internet personality iShowSpeed will make his official in-ring debut at WrestleMania 42, the biggest wrestling event of the year.
The announcement was made by Raw General Manager Adam Pearce during the Monday, April 6, 2026, episode of Monday Night Raw.
The match was set following a chaotic tag team bout in which Austin Theory defeated LA Knight with accidental interference from iShowSpeed.
Frustrated, Knight grabbed the microphone and challenged iShowSpeed, Logan Paul, and Austin Theory, collectively known as The Vision, to face him and The Usos (Jey Uso & Jimmy Uso) at WrestleMania.
Pearce quickly made the match official, declaring, “You want it? It’s official!”
Weeks of tension and rivalry
The rivalry has been building for weeks. At Madison Square Garden, iShowSpeed accidentally struck Knight with brass knuckles at ringside, helping Logan Paul and Austin Theory capture the WWE World Tag Team Championships from The Usos. Knight later retaliated by crashing one of Speed’s livestreams, destroying his setup, and confronting him physically.
During Raw, iShowSpeed appeared visibly hesitant, with a comedic segment featuring Danhausen showing him “cursing,” while The Vision encouraged him to step up. Despite his reluctance, the match is now confirmed as the 13th official bout on the WrestleMania 42 card.
The WrestleMania 42 six-man tag team match will feature iShowSpeed, Logan Paul, and Austin Theory facing off against LA Knight and The Usos, Jey Uso and Jimmy Uso.
WrestleMania 42 will take place over two nights on Saturday, April 18, 2026 and Sunday, April 19, 2026, at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada.
As WWE’s flagship event, often called the “Super Bowl of sports entertainment,” it consistently draws massive crowds and global viewership. With stars like John Cena hosting and the crossover appeal of iShowSpeed.
This will mark iShowSpeed’s in-ring debut on WWE’s biggest stage, although he has made celebrity appearances before, including at previous WrestleManias and the Royal Rumble.
