This was a reference to the popular criticism that other combat sports fans have about pro wrestling, deeming it as ‘fake’. After having endured an RKO and other vicious moves at the hands of Randy Orton, Speed wants everyone to know that wrestling, even if pre-determined, is real.

The Ronaldo Superfan wasn’t the only YouTuber who got to know from Randy Orton that pro wrestling hurts in real life. In fact, KSI got a taste of it twice before he decided to support his friend from a distance at WrestleMania XL.

On the road to WrestleMania, Logan Paul was feuding with the WWE legend for his United States Championship. The heel wrestler was involved in several promotions. In one of the segments, KSI visited WWE alongside The Maverick, wearing classy business attire. What the two businessmen were trying to do did not work out in their favor. On the contrary, they angered Randy Orton.

While Logan Paul was able to escape an RKO out of nowhere, KSI lacked the training and skills to do so. Consequently, he had to bear it, followed by public humiliation. Shortly after, a picture of KSI with a neck brace went viral.
