The WWE Royal Rumble had plenty of jaw-dropping moments, but nothing came close to the numbers pulled in by Bron Breakkers vicious spear on IShowSpeed. Within just 12 hours, the clip of Breakker nearly cutting Speed in half racked up an insane 49.6 million views, making it the most-watched clip from the event by far.
To put that into perspective, the official clip of Jey Uso winning the Royal Rumblethe nights biggest momentonly hit 5 million views in comparison. Even Speeds own entrance clip into the Rumble pulled in over 21 million views, but nothing came close to the absolute carnage of Breakkers spear.
Speeds night in WWE was chaotic from the start. After Triple H threw him into the match as a last-minute replacement for Akira Tozawa, the streamer helped Breakker eliminate Otis before celebrating a little too soon. Breakker made sure to end his moment fast, delivering a spear that sent Speed flying, followed by a Gorilla Press throw straight into Otis, who finished him off with a German Suplex over the announce table.
Now, Speed is on crutches, bandaged up, and clearly done with WWE, tweeting no more WWE after the event. But with numbers like this, WWE might not be done with him just yet.
Did WWE strike viral gold with IShow Speeds appearance, and should they bring him back despite his brutal beatdown? Please share your thoughts and feedback in the comment section below.
