Candice LeRae is moving to the next round.
The first-ever Women’s Speed Champion was the first to advance in the tournament to crown a new number one contender on Tuesday, defeating TNA’s Xia Brookside. With around 24 seconds remaining in the three-minute match, LeRae pinned Brookside after a lionsault, moving to the next round. She will face the winner between AAA’s Faby Apache and NXT’s Laney Reid.
Last month it was officially announced that the Speed titles were coming to NXT. Ava revaled a tournament would be held to determine Sol Ruca’s next challenger. The winner of the tournament will get their title shot at NXT’s next PLE, No Mercy on September 27.
The fate of the Speed titles were unclear for a time after the show was dropped from X earlier in the summer. Around the same time, Ruca started to carry around her Speed Championship on NXT television, something she hadn’t done despite winning the title back in April. El Grande Americano, who holds the men’s championship, has yet to be seen with the belt on Raw while no plans have been announced regarding his title.
