In December, WWE filmed a pair of matches under the “WWE Speed” banner, with the goal of showcasing talent in a five-minute time limit. The matches in question featured a mix of main roster and “WWE NXT” talent, as Cedric Alexander battled Axiom, while Nathan Frazer took on Bronson Reed. During Thursday’s WrestleMania XL kickoff show, “WWE Raw” commentator Michael Cole broke the news that the “WWE Speed” concept will officially go live this spring via the X platform (formerly Twitter).
“‘WWE Speed’ is a new weekly video series featuring matches up to 5 minutes long and will be distributed exclusively on X!” wwe confirmed in X. “Starting in Spring 2024, WWE and X will offer the new format for high-paced timed matches featuring your favorite WWE Superstars!”
While the finer details of this series have yet to be presented, The Wrestling Observer previously reported that the winners of the “WWE Speed” match will receive one point, while the losers will have one point deducted. In the event of a tie due to a time limit, no points will be earned or deducted.
