A new WWE Speed Champion has been crowned at Friday’s WWE taping from Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, ending the reign of Andrade.
WWE taped the latest episode of WWE Speed before Friday’s SmackDown. It saw the current champion defending his title against Dragon Lee.
The LWO member would end up winning the bout, ending Andrade’s Championship reign at 152 days and earning his second singles title in WWE:
Andrade had defeated the inaugural WWE Speed Champion Ricochet to win the title back in June. The One and Only held the belt for 42 days before dropping it to the Mexican star and exiting the company.
WWE Speed Title matches generally air on Fridays before PPVs so it’s likely that we will see this title change ahead of the Survivor Series: WarGames event on November 30.
This wasn’t the only notable moment of the night. The SmackDown broadcast also saw the return of Shinsuke Nakamura who had been absent from WWE programming since April.
Nakamura attacked US Champion LA Knight after his successful title defense against Humberto. This suggests that Shinsuke will be going after the title in the coming times.
WWE also revealed the brackets for the announced tournament to crown the new Women’s US Champion on the show. You can check it out here.
