Huge role for Randy Orton in IShowSpeed's latest WWE project

IShowSpeed's latest WWE project is in the works. Randy Orton is also reported to be involved.

Speed is no stranger to the WWE ring. He was involved in Randy Orton's match against Logan Paul at WrestleMania 40. Speed, who was dressed as a Prime bottle, was on the receiving end of an RKO from The Viper. He also competed in this year's Royal Rumble, where he was hit with a devastating spear from Bron Breakker.

Speed recently shared a picture of himself at the WWE Performance Center holding a clapperboard that read "Speed Goes Pro," which is the title of his new show where he tries to prove he has what it takes to go pro in various sports. Several WWE stars attended the show's premiere. The first episode featured NFL legend Tom Brady.

According to recent reports from Fightful Select, IShowSpeed will be working directly with Randy Orton to see if he can compete as a WWE wrestler. The Viper was also present at the Performance Center. It was also reported that he will appear in the third episode of the season. While WWE has been open to Speed competing in a match, there are no specific plans for this yet. The first episode of Speed Goes Pro has amassed over 5.7 million views on YouTube.

Vince Russo criticized Randy Orton's recent booking on SmackDown

On the October 3 episode of SmackDown, Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton came face-to-face with The Vision. Paul Heyman was up to his devious tactics as he tried to drive a wedge between The American Nightmare and The Viper. This has been the recurring theme of Cody's partnership with Orton, as WWE often reminds fans that Orton might turn on Cody.

Speaking on BroDown hosted by Mac Davis, Vince Russo criticized WWE for repeatedly booking the same angles involving Orton.

"How many times are we gonna play the card, you're boy, Paul Heyman, 'Can we really trust Orton?' How many times are we gonna play that card? How many times are you gonna have Big Purse go down there and try to buy the services of Ram Head?"

It will be interesting to see whether Orton will eventually turn on Cody Rhodes.

If ever given a chance to change a storyline, Sunil would have booked Roman Reigns to end The Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak instead of Brock Lesnar. According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
