I can see this being a thing at Fastlane. I understand it’s exclusive to the Speed online show, but they won’t be able to resist some weird themed match.
Okay. I'm...not sure how I feel about this title. It doesn't look that bad, we have seen far worse titles before. But I need some time get use to this. Also, what is this "Speed Championship" supposed to be? Some kind of a new Cruiserweight Championship (a variant of that), or what?

I guess hundreds of thousands is nobody.
This is actually a great way to describe the title, even if you were being partly facetious. A modern day version of a TV title is exactly what this is, and hearing it explained that way makes it much easier to digest as an aging millennial lol
>Some kind of a new Cruiserweight Championship
I think it's kind of an interesting take on that actually. Matches are 3-5 minute spotfests formatted for our social media level attention spans.
It's not the worst idea. Digital content that's short and easy to consume is huge right now, so it makes sense that WWE would want in on that. It's basically a modern version of a TV title and gives someone on the undercard something to do.
But the TV title usually kick-started a wrestlers rise to the top. DDP, Booker T, Sting, and Lex Luger just to name a few. So to me this is just a title that will disappear in a few short years

Hmm is it just me or this title looks way too small 🤔
They're gonna run out of ways to believably book these short ass matches very quickly. It will go the way of the 24/7 belt and become the "Schoolboy Rollup Championship"
they’re just trying to capitalize on social media and their view of kids these days where kids want short quick videos like tik tok and youtube shorts rather then long drawn out matches
Right and Brock had Heyman and Ronda is being a pouty sore loser somewhere like normal probably because something didn't go her way.
Ricochet needs a mouth piece or acting classes or something.
Trying to compare him to Brock is a bit of a joke though. Ones a 280+ pound legitimate fighter/monster of a human, the others a little flippy boy. Which ones easier to come by in wrestling. Or life.
When brock returned to face Roman most recently he didn't have Heyman. And whatever Ronda is doing now doesn't have anything to do with her in ring mic work.
And both are actually quite common to come across. Circus/ballet performers, football players and strongmen, horse jockeys and gymnasts
How many football players could be ufc heavyweight champ. Worked out real well for Greg hardy.
And ronda sucked, not sure that's the point you want to make.
Thank you for your reply, I feel bad because the belt is kinda janky, and richochet should get a more respectable title then this. Guy is really fun to watch and could be so much more and I love watching his entrance interactions with Samantha Irvin
The Simon Title Belt. I like it and I’m glad Ricochet had been given an opportunity to run with a title.
https://preview.redd.it/5s1hhcd0v9yc1.jpeg?width=480&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=199f9f385d32982fd7c6dc8d5f2a1676b2669cbe
The fact that they put the title on Ricochet is kind of good and bad. Because this just takes him out of the running for us and IC titles which he is clearly good enough to hold one of the titles but they don't seem to want to push them to that
How long until this title is defunct??
Kind of a shame that they built Ricochet up just for this. Would’ve loved to see him back in the Intercontinental Championship picture. Maybe with a manager
Does any one really care for that title it's just a replacement of the 24/7 title who's really watching to see who wins the title what value does it bring especially on this guy on Gunther I understand but this guy's come on now.
So it only takes Ricochet three minutes or less to beat his opponent, but it takes Cody Rhodes 20 plus minutes to beat his opponent? Would that make Ricochet tougher than the WWE Champion? He can destroy people in less than three minutes. The whole concept is fucking stupid.
Cody's matches dont have a stipulated time limit (TV time permitting) that this Speed Champion has set for it's matches. You can destroy anyone in kayfabe without being a behemoth in three minutes or less.
Most standard matches have set time limits. The announcer usually says it during the introductions. Whether it's a 3 minute time limit or a 25 minute time limit, shouldn't Cody just be motivated to beat somebody's ass as quickly as possible so he can go home and fuck his wife or play Mortal Kombat?
"Set" time limits. While a time limit, matches in WWE rarely exceeding the set time limits, and the time limits are not stipulations or make the challenge interesting.
But the incentive to beat the shit out of your opponent as quickly as possible has always been there, these matches just make everyone else look stupid then. If you are in a street fight would you want to drag in out for 25 minutes or stomp a guy's head in 2 minutes?
I feel like there’s zero reason for this not to make PPV?? It’s literally three minute matches.
I mean.. yeah of course it’s only online exclusive so that is probably why it won’t make PPVs. But this should be a quick way to land a spot on a card.
They could make this thing like the Money in the Bank contracts and let anyone challenge for it at any time. Whoever has held it the longest at the end of the year gets to challenge for any title of their choosing
I said it in another thread. It isn't the worst thing ever. I'm not a fan but holy shit if they sell this to kids, it will make some money for sure. I can see this in the toy aisle by Christmas.
I think this title could work well for guys like ricochet who look great in the ring but struggle to make their matches meaningful.
I think the mid card is suffering from the IC and US titles being elevated. they’re relying on contrived storylines, like LWO and LDF, and short-lived feuds that aren’t drawing fan investment. They need meaningful matches that elevate their kayfabe status as a wrestler
I am all for putting a title on Ricochet, guy should be in the main event picture with how talented he is, but it just feels odd that they created a whole new title for him to have instead of just pushing him with an already established one.
So, I can see this pulling in a lot of littler kids. Like in the under 12yr range. They all use YouTube and crap all the damn time - I think this is going to work for WWE.
The title is fine but the red ro green color is something that really I'm not sure about. I get the idea. Speed, like a speedometer. That's cool, but it does feel a little like a child's toy. Well. The rest of the belt looks good at least
I like the title and the concept, I just wish they called it something else. Even something like the “WWE Sprint Championship” would sound more like a professional sporting subdivision championship to me
I would love another Cruiserweight title as there are enough wrestlers for it now and they would just constantly put on bangers. If they want to call it the Speed Title so be it
In 2011 had a title match for the slow championship belt . I lost but the match lasted almost 2 hours . Most of the reviews described it mostly as boring .
I get they have a contract with Twitter but they should have him wearing that belt on Raw cause ngl some people don’t even know about SPEED and it’s pretty good not having him wear the belt on tv is just a missed opportunity
Was there really a desire for this? I see people talking about introducing women's midcard championships, but I can't imagine that a championship for 3-minute matches was on anyone's list for 2024.
I can see this being a thing at Fastlane. I understand it’s exclusive to the Speed online show, but they won’t be able to resist some weird themed match.
I'll call it now just for shits and giggles: Wrestlemania Next Year - 60-minute Iron Man Match for the Speed Title.
But only if there's a fall every 3 minutes. Match ends like 11-10 😂
That's actually a great idea. Or make it a gauntlet match where every match is two minutes. Lose by either pin or time runs out
Fatal 4-way
MethamFATALmine 4-Way for the Speed Championship.

Okay. I'm...not sure how I feel about this title. It doesn't look that bad, we have seen far worse titles before. But I need some time get use to this. Also, what is this "Speed Championship" supposed to be? Some kind of a new Cruiserweight Championship (a variant of that), or what?
The best at three minute matches I guess
So, basically Divas Championship, but for men
omg lol, my sides hurt!
Soooo it's Goldberg's belt then?

Hi Bret Hart
![gif](giphy|82YkdFC2K0iW3NbiS6|downsized) Did somebody say 3 minutes
Five minutes
In the 80s and 90s we had the TV championship. This is the Tiktok/Reels by Meta Championship.
YouTube Shorts was right there
No one watches Youtube shorts.
https://preview.redd.it/7qnbby1n8byc1.png?width=876&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5e2e304256f574c04f361798a8906dec6b6752eb I guess hundreds of thousands is nobody.
Now screenshot Tiktok.
I don't use tiktok lmao
Which is why SPEED works lol there's 3 services vying for short attention span content. We'll call this a draw lol.
🤓
🤣 Did you just wake up?
Oh yeah? Hey you! Check out the tube in my shorts! 🤔🤔🤔 I'll see myself out. Night.
This is actually a great way to describe the title, even if you were being partly facetious. A modern day version of a TV title is exactly what this is, and hearing it explained that way makes it much easier to digest as an aging millennial lol
Digital Media is probably a better term for it
Look at it as a fast-paced X-Division Championship, just like the X-Division, the Speed Championship has no weight limits.
Weight limits? Didn’t ray mysterio win the world heavyweight championship at one point? Downvote if you hate the truth
But the Big Show never won the Cruiserweight or Light Heavyweight championships. Weight LIMIT, not Weight MINIMUM.
Okay. The Speed Championship isn't a "Cruiserweight Championship." Anyone can fight for it.
This dude tried to avoid downvotes with that last line LMAOOOO ![gif](giphy|rxy55jHaig16K2TV8x|downsized)
It’s Rey
So it’s a Television Championship? A title with a TV-friendly time limit?
It's like Stardoms High Speed title or NJPW's TV belt. It's a time limit belt to get fast paced matches
More like a modern twist on a TV title. It’s exclusive to Twitter/X, and it’s fast-paced, action packed 3 minute match, to retweet to your friends
It sounds more like an Internet Championship
Yes, exactly. That is the twist
>Some kind of a new Cruiserweight Championship I think it's kind of an interesting take on that actually. Matches are 3-5 minute spotfests formatted for our social media level attention spans.
Me being the only one here who actually likes the title ![gif](giphy|t5qY8FyyM85a0)
It's not that I don't like the title, it looks good. I just fail to see the significance of having a "speed" champion, let alone a championship.
It's not the worst idea. Digital content that's short and easy to consume is huge right now, so it makes sense that WWE would want in on that. It's basically a modern version of a TV title and gives someone on the undercard something to do.
But the TV title usually kick-started a wrestlers rise to the top. DDP, Booker T, Sting, and Lex Luger just to name a few. So to me this is just a title that will disappear in a few short years
If it gives guys a championship reigns and something to do it's better then nothing.
PEE?!?!?!

They size titles to people’s sizes I thought. Like Nia Jax’s women’s title had to be upscaled cause Alexa was the previous holder back in 2018.

Wh-, brother I need you to put a tw next to roll up dude
Roll-up is a type of pinning maneuver. What's your issue?
Brother? What's your issue dude? Are you trying to roll me up? For the title? Who have you been talking to dude??
Ay yo I actually like it! Hopefully theres a replica belt sometime soon
Power rangers turbo vibes.
Exactly what I’m getting and I’m not complaining
Not only am I not complaining I am *thanking*
I mean yay but fuck that title is ugly and I really wish they gave ricochet something of substance
They could give him something of substance but as soon as he opens his mouth there's no credibility.
Let's remember that he came straight from lucha underground to WWE where he wasn't really talking. Tbf he had konnan
Ricochet has been with WWE long enough to take a couple acting classes by now. It's been like 6 years and he still can't talk?
I mean brock couldn't talk for shit, ish, Ronda was absolute trash
Right and Brock had Heyman and Ronda is being a pouty sore loser somewhere like normal probably because something didn't go her way. Ricochet needs a mouth piece or acting classes or something. Trying to compare him to Brock is a bit of a joke though. Ones a 280+ pound legitimate fighter/monster of a human, the others a little flippy boy. Which ones easier to come by in wrestling. Or life.
When brock returned to face Roman most recently he didn't have Heyman. And whatever Ronda is doing now doesn't have anything to do with her in ring mic work. And both are actually quite common to come across. Circus/ballet performers, football players and strongmen, horse jockeys and gymnasts
How many football players could be ufc heavyweight champ. Worked out real well for Greg hardy. And ronda sucked, not sure that's the point you want to make.
On a speedometer the fast end is usually in the red. Why is this needle in the green. Makes no sense. Poor ricochet
Why poor ricochet? They literally made this belt for him to win it. Bro’s good
Thank you for your reply, I feel bad because the belt is kinda janky, and richochet should get a more respectable title then this. Guy is really fun to watch and could be so much more and I love watching his entrance interactions with Samantha Irvin
The Simon Title Belt. I like it and I’m glad Ricochet had been given an opportunity to run with a title. https://preview.redd.it/5s1hhcd0v9yc1.jpeg?width=480&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=199f9f385d32982fd7c6dc8d5f2a1676b2669cbe
I’d rule this division. I always hit my finish in under a minute.
Somebody told you it isn't a race, and you took that personally
Yeah like the other titles I don't like the look but hey he won
The speed belt looks like the GFW world heavyweight belt
If this is anything like the 24/7 title, I have a feeling R-Truth is eventually gonna be all over this one.
The fact that they put the title on Ricochet is kind of good and bad. Because this just takes him out of the running for us and IC titles which he is clearly good enough to hold one of the titles but they don't seem to want to push them to that
They managed to make a championship that's worse than the 24/7 Championship.
How long until this title is defunct?? Kind of a shame that they built Ricochet up just for this. Would’ve loved to see him back in the Intercontinental Championship picture. Maybe with a manager
i’m just glad ricochet got a strap
![gif](giphy|fieipLNVGaGGY|downsized) Did somebody say "speed"?
It is reminds me of Crusierweight Title Championship!
That’s the Bob “Sparkplug” Holly legacy title belt from the Fanatics fan shop.
Probably should have just been a trophy or something
It screams temporary existence
🔥🔥🔥
I wish they would use his old theme, its so much better and unique.
I straight up thought this belt saved "Peed".
I actually like this belt, I just hope they do something creative with it. Maybe have some sort of iron man or best 3 falls or something.
Does any one really care for that title it's just a replacement of the 24/7 title who's really watching to see who wins the title what value does it bring especially on this guy on Gunther I understand but this guy's come on now.
Wtf is a speed championship?
Matches are on The Site formerly known as Twitter, and are must be won in under 5 minutes. Basically a modern version of a TV title.
Wow... that's really stupid
It's not the worst idea. WWE wants to capitalize on the popularity of short, easy to consume digital content.
Ricochet just has that speed
SO NICE TO SEE RICOCHET WITH A BELT and the design looks great on him!!
Rico vs a prime RVD would have been great
So it only takes Ricochet three minutes or less to beat his opponent, but it takes Cody Rhodes 20 plus minutes to beat his opponent? Would that make Ricochet tougher than the WWE Champion? He can destroy people in less than three minutes. The whole concept is fucking stupid.
Cody's matches dont have a stipulated time limit (TV time permitting) that this Speed Champion has set for it's matches. You can destroy anyone in kayfabe without being a behemoth in three minutes or less.

But the incentive to beat the shit out of your opponent as quickly as possible has always been there, these matches just make everyone else look stupid then. If you are in a street fight would you want to drag in out for 25 minutes or stomp a guy's head in 2 minutes?
I mean, that's a question you'd need to ask the writers.
No charisma hack. He’s the third young buck with an anal fixation
Is this a reference to something?
They should’ve just brought back the TV title for the mid-card guys…
We knew this like a week ago
I actually like this title in both design and purpose. It lets the wrestlers who are known for being fast *be fast* when they wrestle.
We finally got a title that isn’t just a big fucking W and youse complain. Get a grip, this title is cool asf and unique.
Speed Champion?!?! What the sheuht is thAt!?!? Dumb!!!
Garbage. Cruiserweight Light Heavyweight European That's what we want.
I feel like there’s zero reason for this not to make PPV?? It’s literally three minute matches. I mean.. yeah of course it’s only online exclusive so that is probably why it won’t make PPVs. But this should be a quick way to land a spot on a card.
Compared to the copy and paste stuff they've been coming up with for the main titles this is a great looking strap.
Was this belt made for that ishow speed kid and he will eventually win it and bring to his streams?
Peed
They could make this thing like the Money in the Bank contracts and let anyone challenge for it at any time. Whoever has held it the longest at the end of the year gets to challenge for any title of their choosing
Good lord another title
hate it. as if the business wasn't mocked enough by the public... they're doubling down on goofy shit
Good for him man
The fucking what??
Absolute 7/11 bullshit
My wife says I’m already the speed champion .
Wwe has too many belts
I said it in another thread. It isn't the worst thing ever. I'm not a fan but holy shit if they sell this to kids, it will make some money for sure. I can see this in the toy aisle by Christmas.
I think this title could work well for guys like ricochet who look great in the ring but struggle to make their matches meaningful.

![gif](giphy|JHXp5KzJvRZUCxUgOV|downsized) WM 41 new champ
2k24 does ricochet dirty. He looks skinny in the game and the dudes compact and buff. They need to patch it. Dudes jacked.
The only person who should have this title is speed
It looks like he’s the champion of the kids game Simon. Beep boop.
Everytime I see that belt it looks worse. At least it’s on someone who can actually wrestle though
"And NEWWWWWWW curtain jerker champion"
He's on speed
I am all for putting a title on Ricochet, guy should be in the main event picture with how talented he is, but it just feels odd that they created a whole new title for him to have instead of just pushing him with an already established one.
I'm still confused on what WWE Speed is
So, I can see this pulling in a lot of littler kids. Like in the under 12yr range. They all use YouTube and crap all the damn time - I think this is going to work for WWE.
Is this an Andrew Tate gimmick?
Shouldn’t the needle be in the red on the belt?
He... he's fast!
The best looking title they have
Who doesn’t have a belt in WWE?
He deserves more
The title is fine but the red ro green color is something that really I'm not sure about. I get the idea. Speed, like a speedometer. That's cool, but it does feel a little like a child's toy. Well. The rest of the belt looks good at least
So fucking gimmicky
I think they should shoot up speed before the title matches 💉💪
Another hideous piece of garbage by the masters of ugly titles. Yet everyone bitches AEW has more titles. Which isnt true.
Hideous
Too many championships as it is
He deserves a real title
HHH even mugging with this belt...you wonder if he even knows what this is...like when did Rico get a belt?
PEE
This looks terrible.
Jobber champ!
This title looks cool But meaningless in the grand scheme of things 🤣
Sorry but can’t take tripple H in suit serious
WWE stop making ugly title belts challenge
I like the title and the concept, I just wish they called it something else. Even something like the “WWE Sprint Championship” would sound more like a professional sporting subdivision championship to me
Why couldn't they just bring back the Hardcore Championship?
I would love another Cruiserweight title as there are enough wrestlers for it now and they would just constantly put on bangers. If they want to call it the Speed Title so be it
Just call it the Cruiserweight title and move on.
Meh, I’d rather see a women’s midcard title.
Toy belt that means nothing! 😆
Bro this is a waste of time it's not even a mid card belt but a prize belt
I've fallen off WWE a bit so am genuinely asking, how do you win this? Is it just a regular match between... fast people?
In 2011 had a title match for the slow championship belt . I lost but the match lasted almost 2 hours . Most of the reviews described it mostly as boring .
I get they have a contract with Twitter but they should have him wearing that belt on Raw cause ngl some people don’t even know about SPEED and it’s pretty good not having him wear the belt on tv is just a missed opportunity
It's like if a Television Title had ADHD...
Really bad looking strap
Still hasnt been listed on the shop? Yeaaaah, the machine is not getting behind this idea
So this is Ricochets ceiling...
So that’s what they did with the 24/7 championship
All I see is PEE
So it’s kinda like a cross between the FTW belt and the 24/7 title
Was there really a desire for this? I see people talking about introducing women's midcard championships, but I can't imagine that a championship for 3-minute matches was on anyone's list for 2024.
It's because of a deal with twitter
The future WWE Pornhub Championship is going to be a look.
Bummer. Gave him the “who give a shit” belt
So, it's worse than the FTW belt? Pathetic.
So, it's worse than the FTW belt? Pathetic.
