YouTube star Darren "IShowSpeed" returned to his channel on April 12, 2024, to host a desktop livestream. During the Just Chatting segment, the streamer talked about his viral appearance at WWE WrestleMania XL, where Randy Orton used his signature move, the RKO, on him.
While reacting to a fan edit of the moment, IShowSpeed stated that the next time he sees The Viper in person, he will "whoop his a*s." While insisting that he was "not trolling," the Ohio native said:
"Bro, do you all want to know how that RKO felt, bro? Like, chat, I promise, the next time I see RKO, I'm whooping his a*s, bro! And chat, I'm genuinely not trolling, bro. The next time I see Randy Orton - I'm whooping his a*s. 'Is WWE real?' Yes, yes, bro! I promise you, chat. The next time I see Randy Orton, I'm whooping his a*s, bro. And, I'm genuinely not trolling, bro."
Claiming that he had to go to the hospital because Randy Orton "broke his neck," IShowSpeed remarked:

I'm going to let you know... hey, it's over for you, bro. Real s**t! Like, he literally broke my neck, bro. I literally had to go to the hospital. It was nothing crazy, though. I wasn't about to die but I genuinely had to go to the hospital."
