Andrade’s Victory Raises Eyebrows Among Fans
Summary
– Andrade defeated Ricochet to become the new WWE Speed Champion
– Fans have mixed reactions to Andrade holding the Speed Championship
– Future plans for Andrade remain uncertain
The June 7th edition of Friday Night SmackDown offered fans more surprises post-show as WWE crowned a new Speed Champion.
The Speed Championship, which debuted earlier this year, has allowed male superstars from all three WWE brands to compete under strict five-minute match limits, aired exclusively on X/Twitter. Ricochet became the inaugural champion during the April 2024 tapings, defeating Johnny Gargano in the final match.
Recent tapings for upcoming WWE Speed episodes featured two pivotal matches. Andrade faced Tommaso Ciampa and won, securing a title shot against Ricochet for the WWE Speed Championship. In the following title match, Andrade triumphed over Ricochet, becoming the new champion.
Fans have mixed feelings about this outcome, with some believing Andrade deserves a more prominent position than the Speed Championship. It remains to be seen if WWE has significant plans for the Mexican Superstar, as holding the Speed Championship might only partially reflect his potential.
