WWE aired another episode of Speed on Wednesday.

This week’s show featured the second opening round match in a tournament to determine who will be the first challenger for Ricochet’s Speed Championship. Ivar defeated Apollo Crews in the first opening-round match last week.

Tyler Bate picked up the win in this week’s episode, using a victory roll to pin Berto (FKA Humberto Carrillo) with just eight seconds remaining in the three-minute time limit. He now advances to the next round of the tournament to face Ivar next week. The winner of that match will move on to challenge Ricochet for the title.

Ricochet defeated Dragon Lee in the opening round, JD McDonagh in the semifinals, and Johnny Gargano in the finals of a tournament to determine an inaugural WWE Speed Champion.

Paul “Triple H” Levesque teased future women’s matches on WWE Speed earlier this month. During a Q&A on X, Levesque said of WWE Speed, “It makes for an exciting challenge for the guys. It makes for an exciting challenge for eventually what will be the women as well.”
