WWE Speed Women’s Championship tournament to begin next month

A tournament to crown a new champion in WWE’s women’s divison starts next month.

Triple H announced Friday on X that the tournament to crown the first-ever WWE Speed Women’s Champion will start on September 4 at noon ET.

“Time to turn #WWESpeed up another notch… excited to announce that the WWE Speed Women’s Championship Tournament will premiere Sept. 4 at 12pm ET / 9am PT, exclusively on @X,” he wrote.

The short-form show premiered exclusively on X back in April. The following month, Ricochet became the first WWE Speed Champion. However, he lost the title to current champion Andrade in June before leaving the company.

WWE Speed is held in a tournament format where the goal is to defeat your opponent in three minutes. NXT star Je’Von Evans advanced to the semifinals of the current tournament on the most recent show. He will face the winner between Joaquin Wilde and Pete Dunne, and the winner of that match will face Andrade for the title.
