Sol Ruca Earns WWE Speed Women’s Title Shot – A new challenger has emerged for Candice LeRae and the WWE Speed Women’s Championship.
Sol Ruca defeated Michin in the finals of the WWE Speed Women’s Championship Contender Tournament, which aired on the April 9, 2025, episode of WWE Speed. With the win, the rising NXT Superstar secured her place as the next title contender.
Ruca’s victory over the veteran Michin came after an intense back-and-forth bout, showcasing Ruca’s athleticism and unorthodox offense. The match marked the culmination of the Women’s Speed Contender Tournament, which featured talent from both the NXT and main roster brands.
Ruca will now face reigning champion Candice LeRae on next week’s episode of WWE Speed, set to air Wednesday, April 16, 2025, at 12/11c on X. LeRae has held the title since the inception of the division, and this upcoming match will mark one of her most high-profile defenses to date.
The episode also marks a continued effort by WWE to spotlight fast-paced, time-limited matches through the Speed format, catering to fans who prefer short-form, high-intensity competition.
WWE continues to release new episodes of WWE Speed exclusively via X (formerly Twitter), with episodes dropping weekly on Wednesdays.
