Last week's show is here: http://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2024/10/wwe-speed-1022024.html

WWE Women's Speed Title Tournament - Finals - Candice LeRae vs Iyo Sky

This has a 5 minute time limit. Iyo dropkicks her out then topes her. Iyo double underhook backbreakers her. Indi Hartwell is with CL and distracts Iyo. CL jawbreakers Iyo then walks up her back and sentons her back for 2. Iyo throws her off a tornado ddt attempt. Iyo shotei's and germans her for 2.

Iyo is caught on the 2nd rope and CL swinging neckbreakers her down for 2. They fight on the buckles and Iyo hits a top rope spanish fly for 2. Iyo gets distracted by Indi on the ropes. Iyo flips out of a top rope german. Iyo corner meteora's CL then dropkicks Indi off the ropes. Iyo goes for a top rope moonsault and CL gets her feet up. CL asai moonsaults her and pins her at 3:50.

Thoughts: They didn't make the most of their time here but did do a decent bit of flying. I didn't like the top rope spanish fly being meaningless here. I would have had Indi be more of a distraction and cost Iyo the match to avoid her mostly losing clean. It only got 3:50 and really wasn't that great or memorable. Candice winning was a surprise though.

The men's WWE Speed #1 Contenders Tournament starts up again next week with Sheamus vs VInci, Bron Breakker vs Cruz del Toro, Dragon Lee vs Tavion Heights and Akira Tozawa vs Riley Osborne all vying for a title shot.

Overall thoughts:  There was only one new match as usual here. As usual, it wasn't anything special though the result was a surprise. I guess if you have 5 minutes to spare you could check it out, but you aren't missing that much if you don't do so.
