Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque had to replace a WWE star at the last-minute during the 2025 men’s Royal Rumble tonight with the match in progress.
After Akira Tozawa was attacked by Carmelo Hayes on the ramp ahead of joining the 2025 Royal Rumble at #8, he was escorted backstage.
Shown being sat next to Triple H in the Gorilla position, when officials informed HHH that Tozawa wouldn’t be able to compete, he sprung into action.
Grabbing the attention of social media sensation IShowSpeed who was backstage in Gorillachatting with Stephanie McMahon, Triple H ordered the streamer to enter the Royal Rumble match.
After receiving a warm reception from the crowd, IShowSpeed would go on to assist Bron Breakker in eliminating Otis before being on the receiving end of a spear from Breakker.
He would then be eliminated from the match by a combination of the Intercontinental Champion Bron Breakker and Otis.
