New number one contender for WWE Speed Championship crowned

The next WWE Speed Championship match is now set.

Jasper Troy defeated Axiom in the finals of the number one contendership tournament that took place Tuesday on NXT. The two fought for the duration of the time limit before Troy was able to grab Axiom and pin him with the black hole slam with six seconds left on the clock. Troy now has earned a Speed title match against El Grande Americano on the November 11 edition of NXT.

Rayo and Bravo, Americano’s associates, have been seen in the crowd in recent weeks scouting the competition. Although Grande Americano has been champion dating back to May, he has not been seen with the championship on main roster television. He did cut a promo about the tournament during this past weekend’s NXT Halloween Havoc event.

The Women’s Speed Championship was declared vacant on Tuesday after Sol Ruca decided to focus on her recovery, handing the title over to Ava. A tournament will be held starting on next week’s show to crown a new champion.
