The WWE Women's Speed Championship is up for grabs, and the race to the top is heating up! With the current title holder, Sol Ruca, forced to vacate due to a knee injury sustained on SmackDown, a tournament has been set in motion to crown a new champion. And one wrestler, Zaria, is making her way towards the top with determination.
In the first round of the tournament, Zaria faced off against Wren Sinclair, a match that had all the ingredients for an intense battle. Sinclair, backed by the formidable Kendal Grey, the WWE EVOLVE Women's Champion, and Zaria, with the former champion Ruca in her corner, put on a show.
The match started with a rapid exchange of roll-ups, showcasing the quick thinking and agility of both wrestlers. Zaria gained the upper hand with a powerful right hand and a backbreaker, but Sinclair was not one to back down. She fought back with a back elbow and an Octopus hold, aiming to wear down her opponent. Zaria's resilience was tested, but she refused to tap out, surprising Sinclair with a near fall.
Zaria's comeback was fueled by a burst of energy, landing a series of clotheslines and a pump kick that momentarily halted Sinclair's momentum. However, Sinclair, a true fighter, locked in an arm submission as the clock ticked towards the one-minute mark. Zaria, unable to reach the ropes, had to think fast and rolled through, executing a devastating spear. To seal the deal, Zaria delivered an F5, securing the win.
But here's where it gets interesting! Zaria's journey doesn't end here. She now advances to the final round of the Women's Speed Championship tournament, where she will face either Fallon Henley or Skylar Raye (formerly Dani Sekelsky). The final match is set to take place at NXT Gold Rush, and the anticipation is building. Who will Zaria face, and will she claim the championship?
And this is the part most people miss: the beauty of wrestling lies in its unpredictability. While Zaria has taken a significant step towards the title, the tournament is far from over. Will she overcome her next opponent and etch her name in WWE history? Only time will tell. So, what do you think? Is Zaria's journey inspiring, or do you have another wrestler in mind for the championship? Let's discuss in the comments!
