Ivar has advanced to the next round of the ongoing WWE Speed Championship Contender Tournament.
The latest episode of WWE Speed on X took place on Wednesday at Noon, and featured Ivar of The Viking Raiders going one-on-one against Apollo Crews in the first opening round match in the ongoing WWE Speed Championship Contender Tournament.
Ivar picked up the win with a top-rope moonsault at just the two-minute mark of the three-minute scheduled bout.
The winner of the tourney will become the first challenger to inaugural WWE Speed Champion Ricochet.
