IShowSpeed’s surprise WWE Royal Rumble 2025 appearance took an unfortunate turn as he left the event on crutches.

Darren “IShowSpeed” suffered an injury during his appearance at the WWE Royal Rumble 2025. After Akira Tozawa was sidelined due to an injury, Paul “Triple H” sent Speed into the ring as his replacement. Making a grand entrance, he struck his signature “Sewey” pose before the action began. However, his moment was short-lived as Bron Breakker delivered a devastating spear, after which he was thrown out of the ring. While Otis did catch him after Bron threw him out, Speed’s misery didn’t end there as the WWE star slammed him onto the announce table, which reportedly caused his injury.

IShowSpeed made his WWE debut at WrestleMania 40, where he ended up leaving on a stretcher after Randy Orton hit Darren with his signature RKO. The 20-year-old arrived at the event to promote KSI and Logan Paul’s hydration drink, Prime, and even dressed as a Prime bottle — until Orton stripped the costume off him. Speed later shared a picture of himself on a stretcher alongside Logan Paul.
For the Royal Rumble 2025, Speed was personally invited by Triple H and was granted permission to stream freely throughout the event. He also stirred excitement by calling out WWE megastar John Cena in an Instagram story.
