As shown, the video reveals that Speed's cameo appearance in the battle royal resulted in him ripping a large flap of skin off the back of his leg. The clip didn't confirm if he was experiencing any other issues after being hilariously speared into another planet by a rampaging Bron Breakker before his elimination. It was the highlight of a 56 second stint out there that also saw him eliminate Otis before suffering the consequences of that when he was caught and thrown into the announce table by the disgruntled former Tag Team Champion.
The YouTuber/Streamer was a special guest entrant in the men's Royal Rumble, entering at #8 as a last minute replacement for Akira Tozawa after the Alpha Academy man was left laying by a frustrated Carmelo Hayes following his own elimination. Cameras rushed backstage with the injured Tozawa and found Triple H in Gorilla insisting that somebody take his place. Speed was in the room, took the spot and entered the match.
Speed, real name Darren Watkins Jr., is known for his high-energy gaming content, vlogs, and an endless and insufferable quest to stay viral on account of all the money it makes. His personality has made him extremely popular among younger audiences - something WWE were only too happy to court and promote before, during and after the Rumble event. It was noted that his appearance on the show surpassed 255,000,000 views across all WWE and Speed social platforms within 24 hours of the event, and the numbers will likely keep growing as more and more people share and enjoy the clip of him being obliterated by the Intercontinental Champion.
