- Streamer Kai Cenat showed up on Monday Night Raw in Atlanta
- Pat McAfee invited Cenat to the Royal Rumble
- Cenat sent a message to IShowSpeed ahead of the event
IShowSpeed isn’t going to be the only YouTuber livestreaming at the WWE Royal Rumble. Kai Cenat is going to be in Indianapolis this Saturday, as well. And he had a not so subtle warning for his fellow streamer on Monday Night Raw.
Cenat was in attendance on Raw last night (January 27) in Atlanta, complete with his own ring entrance and ringside interview. And it was during his chat with Raw commentator, ESPN’s own Pat McAfee, that Cenat made his Royal Rumble intentions clear.
A former Indianapolis Colt, McAfee personally extended an invite to the 23-year-old streamer to attend this Saturday’s Rumble, which takes place at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indy. Cenat, a huge John Cena fan, automatically accepted and singled out the 16-time World Champion as his pick to win the men’s Rumble match.

But Cenat wasn’t done there.
With WWE’s Chief Content Officer Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque extending an invite out to IShowSpeed to livestream at Lucas Oil Stadium ahead of the Rumble, Cenat sent a message to Speed which more than hinted at potential physicality between the pair.
“I’m gonna be there for sure. And I’m gonna see you too, Speed. Let’s see what happens over there.”

Given the size of both Speed and Cenat’s followings across their various social media and streaming platforms, having the pair interact and potentially run an angle together where they come to blows makes a ton of sense for WWE, given the amount of attention it will generate online.
With Logan Paul also confirming last night that he was competing in this weekend’s men’s Royal Rumble match, maybe we’ll see a triple threat of streamers all duking it out inside the squared circle. Could the seeds be sewn for a WrestleMania match, even?
