Sol Ruca wins WWE Speed Women’s title

LeRae, the inaugural WWE Speed Women’s Champion, made two other defenses in her reign before dropping the title to Ruca. Those previous defenses against Natalya and Zoey Stark ended with LeRae retaining in five-minute draws. She attempted to get herself disqualified against Ruca, but the referee took the Speed title belt away from LeRae before she could use it as a weapon.

Ruca went on to hit the Sol Snatcher to win the championship with one minute remaining on the clock.

This Saturday, Ruca could become a double champion at NXT Stand & Deliver. She’s one of the participants in a ladder match for the vacant NXT Women’s North American Championship at the WrestleMania weekend event. It will be Ruca vs. Zaria vs. Kelani Jordan vs. Izzi Dame vs. Lola Vice vs. Thea Hail.

A number one contender’s tournament for the Men’s WWE Speed Championship begins with Alex Shelley vs. Wes Lee airing on X/Twitter at noon Eastern this Friday. Shelley vs. Lee and Erik vs. El Grande Americano (Chad Gable) are the first-round matchups in the tournament to decide Dragon Lee’s next challenger.
