Helping hand for Paul
Logan Paul had a little help from streamer IShowSpeed as he retained his belt at WrestleMania 40.
The YouTuber-turned-wrestler faced Randy Orton and Kevin Owens and successfully defended his United States Championship.
But he had IShowSpeed to thank as it was the 19-year-old’s intervention which saved the day.
With Paul flattened and Orton moving in for the kill, Paul was dragged from the ring by a Prime bottle mascot.
Orton then left the ring to square up to the Prime bottle, who was revealed to be IShowSpeed.
The influencer grimaced at the WWE icon and then began barking like a dog in his direction.
Orton, 44, responded by launching an attack on Speed, kicking him to the ground before performing an RKO on the commentary table.
But the intervention played a crucial role as Paul was given time to recover before throwing Orton out of the ring.
The 29-year-old ended the contest with a frogsplash on Owens, who had initially teamed up with Orton before a betrayal saw a triple threat play out.

Table trouble
WWE fans were left laughing their socks off after a hilarious table botch at WrestleMania 40.
Bobby Lashley, Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins of The Street Profitstook on The Final Testament, comprised of Karrion Kross, Rezar and Akam in a Philadelphia Street Fight at the Lincoln Financial Field.
The six men put together a stunning showdown with some hard-hitting spots that included kendo sticks, trash cans and steel chairs.
The bout became so brutal that each team's ringside manager went though a table as The Final Testament's Scarlett hit B-Fab with a Russian Legsweep on the furniture.
But that wasn't the last the fans saw of the table in this encounter as Kross got into a heated confrontation with Dudley due to what he believed was a slow count from the ECW legend.
Lashley, Ford and Dawkins took advantage of the heavyweight's distraction and neutralised their opponent.
The trio then decided to finish the ex-NXT Champion with a Frogsplash by Ford through the table.
But as Lashley and Dawkins placed Kross on the table the furniture somehow broke.
The 38-year-old's weight combined with the fact Lashley placed the table in a wrong manner led to the embarrassing botch with some fans even booing.
