Rikishi Praises IShowSpeed’s Natural Instincts And Says WWE Could Build On His Involvement

On the latest episode of Off The Top, Rikishi talked about IShowSpeed’s involvement in WWE programming, saying the popular streamer shows natural instincts and that WWE could potentially build something meaningful with him. Speed played a role in The Vision’s World Tag Team Championship victory over The Usos on an episode of Raw, where Speed accidentally knocked out LA Knight with brass knuckles. A six-man tag team match is expected to happen at WrestleMania 42.  You can check out some highlights below:

On Speed:

“He’s a good entertainer. He’s a good worker. You can see, seeing his face and his movements in the ring, and how he threw that punch to LA Knight. As a performer you kind of lock in and look to see, okay, they’re good. They’re putting a spotlight on this kid. And then when he throws that, and it looks pretty good, you could possibly do some things with him, because from my understanding, he’s got a huge following. He’s one of the top streamers in the world.”

On the title change:

“Watching the match last night, I wouldn’t have called that. But then again, when I think I know it all, you just learn again. I hope the Usos get their chance to revise and come back in it to where they’re booked against those guys, to be able to be in WrestleMania.”
