Logan Paul rewarded IShowSpeed with an incredible gift after he took an RKO from Randy Orton at Wrestlemania 40 to help him retain his WWE US title.
The YouTuber - actually called Darren Jason Watkins Jr - was left writhing in agony this weekend after being on the receiving end of Orton's signature move when he disguised himself as a Prime mascot to save Paul from taking a punt.
Orton took his frustration out on the 19-year-old star by kicking him over, stripping him of his blue bottle costume, throwing him on the announcer table, and finishing him with an RKO.
IShowSpeed clutched his ribs and looked in huge pain as he hobled away from the ring before eventually reaching Paul - who embraced and supported his friend.
Now Paul has returned the favour after his act of bravery by surprising him with a lucrative Tesla Cybertruck that is worth up to £76,000 ($96,000) on the tech giant's website.

It came after IShowSpeed took an RKO from Randy Orton to assist Paul in staying unbeaten
In a video posted on social media, Paul is seen covering IShowSpeed's eyes before saying: 'Okay, IShowSpeed, because you helped me retain the United States Championship and you took that nasty RKO from Randy Orton, me and the PRIME team wanted to get you a little something. Ready?'
Logan then uncovers his eyes before IShowSpeed is left stunned by the reveal of the incredible black Cybertruck in front of him.
He then responds: 'Come on bro. You gotta be lying bro. No way you gave me this. No way dude. You gave me a starship,' before giving the car a test drive.
Cybertrucks are extremely rare and hard to get - with the company not able to deliver any orders of the car until 2025.
The priciest Cybertruck boasts a 320 mile range, goes from 0-60mph in 2.6 seconds, has a top speed of 130mph with 845 horsepower

Their priciest model - the Cyberbeast - boasts a 320 mile range, goes from 0-60mph in 2.6 seconds, has a top speed of 130mph with 845 horsepower. It also has armoured glass that can resist the impact of a baseball at 70mph and comes with Tesla's autopilot feature.
Speaking after his RKO, IShowSpeed said: 'I got RKO'd by Randy Orton and to be honest...everything is real, man.
'I'm going to be in the hospital for like one day, but I'm not dead, and I'm going to be ok. I got RKO'd by Randy Orton and I'm hurting so, so bad.'
Luckily his small role in the title match wasn't wasted, as Logan Paul successfully retained the United States title he's held since October, when he beat WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio in Saudi Arabia at Crown Jewel.
It's not the first time Paul has gotten his social media friends into trouble during his successful transition into becoming a WWE Superstar.
Speed suffered an injured neck after the attack and claimed that 'everything is real'
Earlier this month, his PRIME partner and popular UK YouTuber and boxer KSI, attended SmackDown to help announce a new mat sponsorship for the drinks brand and WWE, but left the building in the same way as IShowSpeed.
He too was on the end of an RKO from The Viper in the build-up to Paul's match with the WWE legend.
Paul's victory was just one part of an epic WrestleMania weekend, which has been described as one the biggest and best events in the company's history.
Not only did it break several records in revenue across the board, but it also culminated in Cody Rhodes ending Roman Reigns' three-year reign as WWE Champion by beating him to win the title.
The main event match also saw appearances from Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson as well as WWE icons John Cena and Undertaker.
