Participants for WWE Speed Women’s Tournament Revealed – The participants for the upcoming WWE Women’s Speed tournament have been revealed.
WWE announced on Friday that the opening round matches will include IYO SKY vs. Lyra Valkyria, Naomi vs. Blair Davenport, Elektra Lopez vs. Kairi Sane, and Candice LeRae vs. Piper Niven.
It was announced earlier this month that the tournament will start airing on September 4 at noon on X. The match between SKY and Valkyria was taped on Friday, shortly before the start of the live SmackDown broadcast.
The short-form show premiered exclusively on X back in April and has thus far focused on the men’s division. The following month, Ricochet became the first WWE Speed Champion. However, he lost the title to current champion Andrade in June shortly before departing the company.
The current Speed tournament is winding down, with Je’Von Evans and Pete Dunne advancing to the semifinals. The winner of that match will face champion Andrade in the finals.
