Taped last Friday at SmackDown, the match ended with Fyre using a Gory Bomb to get the victory with 30 seconds remaining of the three-minute time limit. B-Fab had momentum on her side in the final minute after a pump kick, but Fyre was able to counter with a superkick before hitting the Gory Bomb.
The tournament continues this Friday with an opening-round match between NXT wrestlers Thea Hail and Nikkita Lyons. The winner advances to face Fyre next Friday to determine the next challenger for Women’s WWE Speed Champion Sol Ruca.
Ruca currently holds both the Speed Championship and NXT Women’s North American Championship. She’s the second wrestler to ever hold the Women’s Speed title, dethroning inaugural champ Candice LeRae back in April. Ruca’s only title defense so far was a victory over Ivy Nile.
Fyre (the former Kay Lee Ray) is a heel on the SmackDown roster, aligned with Chelsea Green and Piper Niven as one of Green’s “Secret Hervice” agents.
