IShowSpeed has built a significant part of his online presence around his admiration for Cristiano Ronaldo, often mentioning the Portuguese star in his streams and appearances.
This passion was clear during his first WWE match last Saturday.
At WrestleMania 42, Speed made sure to include his signature Ronaldo tribute, blending entertainment with a moment that quickly caught attention.

Speed participated as part of Logan Paul’s team in a six-man tag match, alongside Austin Theory, at WrestleMania 42.
They faced The Usos and The Megastar but unfortunately ended up losing the match, despite their efforts.
After the match, tensions rose when Paul struck Speed, a moment that did not go unnoticed by their opponents.
The Usos instead helped Speed retaliate, allowing him to deliver an “IShowSplash” to Paul. Before jumping, Speed climbed the turnbuckle and performed Ronaldo’s iconic “SIU” celebration, which echoed throughout Allegiant Stadium.
WWE commitments kept IShowSpeed from Sidemen Charity Match
Speed’s involvement in WWE impacted his participation elsewhere.
Both he and Paul missed the Sidemen Charity Match at Wembley on the same day due to their commitments.
The event featured prominent figures like xQc, Marlon, and KSI, drawing a lot of online attention.
Speed’s absence was especially notable since his football-related appearances often go viral.
