A new champion was crowned on the April 16th episode of WWE Speed.
NXT star Sol Ruca defeated Candice LeRae to become the second-ever WWE Speed women's champion. With one minute left on the clock, Ruca hit the Sol Snatcher and pinned LeRae's shoulders to the mat.
After becoming the inaugural champion, LeRae previously had two successful defenses of the WWE Speed women's title against Natalya and Zoey Stark. Both matches went to a time-limit draw.
