The winner of the tournament will go on to face champion El Grande Americano. It was the first time on television that Grande Americano has been recognized as the Men’s Speed Champion, as he has been seen frequently on Raw without the title.

After Sol Ruca had been seen with the Women’s Speed title for a number of weeks, it was announced that both Speed titles would be defended in NXT moving forward. A tournament was held to determine the next contender for the Women’s Speed title, with Laney Reid emerging as the surprise winner. However, Reid was pulled from the tournament due to injury and Jaida Parker took her place instead. Parker lost thanks to interference from Lash Legend.
