The wrestling match marked a reunion of sorts for the two streamers, who have collaborated frequently in the past but hadn’t appeared together in quite some time. Their meeting at Fanatics Fest didn’t disappoint, and viewers were thrilled by their banter, which culminated in the much-anticipated face-off in the octagon.
Under the watchful eye of Dana White, IShowSpeed not only won the match but also won the crowd over with his showmanship. At one point, Speed even performed a spontaneous backflip inside the ring, further intimidating Ross. Ross, acknowledging his lack of acrobatic skills, humorously conceded, saying, “He got it. I don’t know how to do that, so you’ve got it.”
In the end, IShowSpeed secured his victory with a well-executed armlock, and as fans cheered, he climbed onto the ring’s barriers to celebrate his win. The match, streamed live on Adin Ross’s Kick profile, added yet another viral moment to IShowSpeed’s growing list of accomplishments.
