iShowSpeed and Logan Paul’s WrestleMania feud expands into anime

Khizar Mundia Published 23/04/2026

Massively popular YouTuber Darren “iShowSpeed” Watkins Jr. and influencer Logan Paul teamed up for WrestleMania 42, but the duo clashed. iShowSpeed has now reignited that drama by calling Logan Paul out over anime.

iShowSpeed initially started his career full of controversies, and the streamer faced multiple bans from streaming platforms. He eventually got his act together around the time when he started appearing in mainstream media and started doing his IRL tours; he is now known as a relatively inoffensive presence to his fans.

Logan Paul, on the other hand, has been part of controversies since his career began during his YouTube days. The influencer has also moved on to more mainstream projects and even collaborated with iShowSpeed for WrestleMania 42 on 19 April, 2026.

What happened between iShowSpeed and Logan Paul during WrestleMania 42

iShowSpeed appeared alongside Logan Paul and Austin Theory in a six-man tag team match at WrestleMania 42. The streamer’s inexperience was visible, and it caused tensions between iShowSpeed and Logan. The trio lost the match, which led to Logan Paul turning on the YouTuber and attacking him. iShowSpeed later retaliated by frog splashing Logan Paul through the announcement table.

The stunt between the two was obviously scripted, as WWE is notorious for starting a feud where there is nothing. Despite this, Logan repeatedly blamed iShowSpeed, claiming the streamer was a “liability” and cost them the match. He did, however, ultimately admit he may have gone too far and was in the wrong. The influencer may have been trying to take responsibility for his actions, but didn’t outright apologize to iShowSpeed, and the drama is now continuing.

iShowSpeed calls out Logan Paul for being a fake anime fan

Just a few days after the WWE incident, iShowSpeed exchanged harsh words with Logan. In a recent post on X, Logan Paul shared a picture of some rare anime, including One Piece, and the streamer replied, “You don’t even know sh*t about One Piece.” This comes after it was revealed that an anime series is being made on iShowSpeed.

This also isn’t the first time Logan Paul has been called out for allegedly being a fake anime fan. In March, Logan Paul tweeted that Ginger is the perfect Pokémon, but fans called him out for his reasoning not being factual. He made simple mistakes, which led to fans questioning his knowledge and true interest in Pokémon.

Both incidents between the streamer and influencer have gone viral on social media, and some fans are even trolling Logan Paul about the fact that iShowSpeed’s response got more reactions than his original post on X.
