Both men’s and women’s WWE Speed titles deactivated

The WWE Women’s Speed title was deactivated following yesterday’s episode of NXT, where the unified champion Zaria decided to keep the NXT Women’s North American title.

The titles were unified on Sunday at Heatwave, with Zaria defeating then-Speed champion Wren Sinclair and Kali Armstrong in a triple threat winner-takes-all match.

NXT General Manager Robert Stone then announced that with the deactivation of the women’s title, the men’s Speed title is also being abandoned, forcing Lexis King to surrender the title.

The Speed titles were introduced after WWE, in broadcast agreement with X, came up with the WWE Speed concept, a series of short matches that would air exclusively on the social media platform. It started in 2024 and ran for a year until the agreement expired. After months stored away, the titles were brought back to NXT where matches under Speed rules were held.
