Last night on WWE NXT, Jasper Troy caused a major upset, defeating El Grande Americano to become the new WWE Speed Champion. The LFG Season One winner scorched earth in the Speed Tournament, decimating the impressive Zachary Wentz and Axiom to earn a shot at the champion.
SmackDown’s Axiom and NXT’s Jasper Troy went head-to-head in the final of the WWE Men’s Speed Championship Tournament last night on NXT. The winner would be the first to challenge Speed Champion El Grande Americano since NXT became the new home for the men’s and women’s titles.
The stage is set for the semi-final of NXT’s first Men’s WWE Speed Championship Tournament. Two exciting opening round matches were announced by NXT GM Ava on last week’s episode of NXT, confirming the first men’s tournament for the Speed Championship since coverage on X came to an end over the summer.
Maybe the best wrestling TV show of the week was highlighted by an outstanding X Division championship match. Zachary Wentz finally gets the title shot he earned way back in September and he and Moose stole the show.
