Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2025/04/wwe-speed-492025.html

WWE Women's Speed Title - Candice LeRae (c) vs Sol Ruca

CL clubs on her. Sol hits her from the apron then springboards over her. Sol boots, elbows and chops her. Sol flying shoulders her then hits a springboard shot on her. Sol does a backpack drop on her and running knees her for 2.

Sol baseball slides her then drops her chest first on the mat. Sol is stuck on the 2nd buckle and enzugiri'd. CL bridging neckbreakers her for 2. Sol cartwheels off the top into a ddt on CL for 2.

Sol is thrown into the steps outside. CL grabs her title belt. The ref takes it from her. CL hits a codebreaker then a ddt for 2. CL step up sentons her then misses an asai moonsault. Sol hits a sol snatcher and gets the upset win at 4:00.

Thoughts: This was surprising with Sol winning the title despite being on NXT. I was surprised by that. The match was just average and not too much of note but the finish was nice. 

Alex Shelley faces Wes Lee in the Men's #1 Contender's Tournament on Friday.

Overall thoughts: There was only one new match here as usual. However, Sol won the title in an upset. That was nice to see and a definite surprise. As usual there was nothing must see here but a title change made this feel somewhat worthwhile at least.
