Summary
– Tyler Bate earns a shot at Ricochet’s WWE Speed Championship by defeating Apollo Crews.

– The title match will air on the next episode of WWE Speed on May 24.

– Bate stepped in after Ivar’s injury prevented him from competing.

Tyler Bate is set to challenge Ricochet for the WWE Speed Championship after securing his title shot by defeating Apollo Crews on the latest episode of WWE Speed. The highly anticipated title match is scheduled to air at noon Eastern time this Friday, May 24.

Ricochet was crowned the inaugural WWE Speed Champion, and a tournament was held to determine his first challenger. Bate earned his title shot in a hard-fought match against Crews, who stepped in as a replacement for Ivar. Ivar, originally set to face Bate, was sidelined due to a serious injury, giving Crews a second chance after his initial tournament loss to Ivar.

The thrilling finishing sequence saw Crews execute a press slam followed by a standing moonsault. However, when he went for the cover, Bate reversed it into his own pin, securing the victory with just 56 seconds remaining in the three-minute time limit.

Bate’s journey to the title match began with a victory over Humberto Carrillo in the tournament’s first round. Both Bate and Ricochet were drafted to the Raw roster during the 2024 WWE Draft, along with Bate’s tag team partner Pete Dunne.

WWE Speed airs exclusively on X/Twitter as part of a two-year deal between WWE and the social media platform, offering fans a unique viewing experience.
