YouTuber and streamer IShowSpeed has been training to become a WWE Superstar recently. The 20-year-old is recording his journey and uploading it to his YouTube channel as well. Notably, the latest episode of the series saw Speed getting hit on his back with a steel chair by Randy Orton.
IShowSpeed had arrived at the WWE Performance Center to train alongside active WWE talent. He sparred with Myles Borne and took some lessons from Lince Dorado and Sheamus before starting to train with The Viper.
The 14-time WWE World Champion told Speed that if he wanted to get into a wrestling ring in just two days, then he should be able to take a chair shot. The streamer obliged, and Orton slammed a steel chair into his back, causing it to bend due to the impact.

The 20-year-old writhed in pain for some time, which made The Apex Predator worried about him for a second. However, Orton quickly realized that Speed was selling the shot.
IShowSpeed had received a lesson in selling from Randy Orton
While IShowSpeed had Randy Orton fooled for a second, interestingly, he had learned how to sell a move just moments ago from The Viper himself. While learning to run the ropes and landing a shoulder tackle, The Legend Killer took a tackle from Speed and feigned that the 20-year-old actually hit him hard, leading Speed to celebrate.
However, he was stunned when Orton instantly switched back to a straight face and told him that he was pretending to be hurt and selling the impact. This left Speed a little disappointed; however, he got his payback by selling the chair shot by The Apex Predator.
Randy Orton, who has been on WWE’s main roster since 2002, said that if Speed can convince him with his selling, then he could easily make the crowd believe him.
