WWE Bringing the Speed Championships into NXT Competition – WWE is officially bringing the Women’s Speed Championship into NXT competition. After weeks of Sol Ruca appearing on television with the title, it was confirmed during last night’s Heatwave event that she will defend the championship at WWE NXT No Mercy on September 27 in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.
The championship bout will be set through a special tournament that begins on the September 2 edition of NXT. The four participants will represent different promotions and brands, including NXT, TNA, AAA, and a combined entrant from RAW and SmackDown. The tournament winner will move on to challenge Ruca at No Mercy in what will be her first official defense since carrying the title onto NXT television.
Ruca’s growing presence in NXT with the Women’s Speed Championship marks the latest development in WWE’s ongoing effort to showcase crossover talent and highlight partnerships across wrestling promotions. While her challengers will be revealed in the coming weeks, the format sets up an opportunity for an unpredictable showdown on the road to No Mercy.
On the men’s side, El Grande Americano is the current WWE Speed Champion. However, no details were provided during Heatwave about his next defense or whether a similar format will be used to determine his challenger.
With the women’s tournament just weeks away, attention now turns to who from WWE, TNA, and AAA will step into the spotlight for a chance to compete against Sol Ruca at No Mercy.
