First competitor in men’s WWE Speed title tournament advances

Posted on by Bryan Rose

The first match to crown the next men’s Speed Champion went down on NXT.

Lexis King defeated the debuting Chaz ‘Starboy’ Hall on Tuesday to advance to the finals. The former Starboy Charlie looked impressive, but with under a minute to go King got the knees up after a shooting star press attempt and scored the pinfall with the Coronation. He will now face the winner between the debuting Dorian Van Dux and EK Prosper, which will take place on next week’s show.

The men’s Speed title became vacant after Elio LeFleur tore his labrum at a house show last month, putting him on the shelf for the next six months. Upon that announcement, he encouraged Prosper to enter the tournament to win the title.

Van Dux was introduced as a friend of LeFleur on Tuesday who was excited to make his NXT debut. A former WXW standout from Belgium, he made his AAA televised debut over the weekend where he teamed with LeFleur and Axiom to defeat Charlie Dempsey, Nathan Frazer, and Tristian Angels as part of new international trios teams competing in the promotion.
