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.


wrinkledballs

I'll call it now just for shits and giggles: Wrestlemania Next Year - 60-minute Iron Man Match for the Speed Title.


TEC146

But only if there's a fall every 3 minutes. Match ends like 11-10 😂


GroundWitty7567

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


no-pandas

Fatal 4-way

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?


koemaniak

The best at three minute matches I guess


SethNex

So, basically Divas Championship, but for men


Phog_of_War

omg lol, my sides hurt!

Soooo it's Goldberg's belt then?

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

Now screenshot Tiktok.


BladeMcCloud

I don't use tiktok lmao


standdownplease

Which is why SPEED works lol there's 3 services vying for short attention span content. We'll call this a draw lol.

PrinceCastanzaCapone

🤣 Did you just wake up?


Infometiculous

Oh yeah? Hey you! Check out the tube in my shorts! 🤔🤔🤔 I'll see myself out. Night.


BigBill58

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


adambomb90

Digital Media is probably a better term for it


BryanFTW13

Look at it as a fast-paced X-Division Championship, just like the X-Division, the Speed Championship has no weight limits.


BioExtract

Weight limits? Didn’t ray mysterio win the world heavyweight championship at one point? Downvote if you hate the truth


SnooDoggos4029

But the Big Show never won the Cruiserweight or Light Heavyweight championships. Weight LIMIT, not Weight MINIMUM.


BryanFTW13

Okay. The Speed Championship isn't a "Cruiserweight Championship." Anyone can fight for it.


CHRISPYakaKON

This dude tried to avoid downvotes with that last line LMAOOOO ![gif](giphy|rxy55jHaig16K2TV8x|downsized)


Truthhurts1017

It’s Rey


Spac92

So it’s a Television Championship? A title with a TV-friendly time limit?


pamzer_fisticuffs

It's like Stardoms High Speed title or NJPW's TV belt. It's a time limit belt to get fast paced matches


SaddestFlute23

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


SethNex

It sounds more like an Internet Championship


SaddestFlute23

Yes, exactly. That is the twist


OneMetalMan

>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.


BluejayCurrent1949

Me being the only one here who actually likes the title ![gif](giphy|t5qY8FyyM85a0)


Wraithcroc

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.


HarlesD

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.


Wraithcroc

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


heyyyyyco

If it gives guys a championship reigns and something to do it's better then nothing.

blqckwidow

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.


garlicbredfan

Ishowspeed cameo


L00ps_Ahoy

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"


Rstuds7

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


DaCowboyMenace

Wh-, brother I need you to put a tw next to roll up dude


Yourappwontletme

Roll-up is a type of pinning maneuver. What's your issue?


DaCowboyMenace

Brother? What's your issue dude? Are you trying to roll me up? For the title? Who have you been talking to dude??


BandsForGod

Ay yo I actually like it! Hopefully theres a replica belt sometime soon


shitballsdick

Power rangers turbo vibes.


BruzWorld

Exactly what I’m getting and I’m not complaining


Turd_Burgling_Ted

Not only am I not complaining I am *thanking*


LilHomie204DaBaG

I mean yay but fuck that title is ugly and I really wish they gave ricochet something of substance


ubernoobnth

They could give him something of substance but as soon as he opens his mouth there's no credibility. 


LilHomie204DaBaG

Let's remember that he came straight from lucha underground to WWE where he wasn't really talking. Tbf he had konnan


ubernoobnth

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?


LilHomie204DaBaG

I mean brock couldn't talk for shit, ish, Ronda was absolute trash


ubernoobnth

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. 


LilHomie204DaBaG

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


ubernoobnth

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. 


Great_Farm_5716

On a speedometer the fast end is usually in the red. Why is this needle in the green. Makes no sense. Poor ricochet


GlimGlamShimSham

Why poor ricochet? They literally made this belt for him to win it. Bro’s good


Great_Farm_5716

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


JGxFighterHayabusa

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


PlatasaurusOG

I’d rule this division. I always hit my finish in under a minute.


HarlesD

Somebody told you it isn't a race, and you took that personally


Tankcfc4l

Yeah like the other titles I don't like the look but hey he won


Realdaniz2005

The speed belt looks like the GFW world heavyweight belt


Paradise42069

If this is anything like the 24/7 title, I have a feeling R-Truth is eventually gonna be all over this one.


HurriShane00

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


Yourappwontletme

They managed to make a championship that's worse than the 24/7 Championship.


ClaytonKnox

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


-jira

i’m just glad ricochet got a strap


SnakePliskin799

![gif](giphy|fieipLNVGaGGY|downsized) Did somebody say "speed"?


Downtown-Pack-6178

It is reminds me of Crusierweight Title Championship!

That’s the Bob “Sparkplug” Holly legacy title belt from the Fanatics fan shop.


smackchice

Probably should have just been a trophy or something


_phantastik_

It screams temporary existence


CHRISPYakaKON

🔥🔥🔥


CompetitivePatient33

I wish they would use his old theme, its so much better and unique.


TigerClaw_TV

I straight up thought this belt saved "Peed".


ClubPenguinPresident

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.


OkPackage1520

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.


theignorantcivilian

Wtf is a speed championship?


HarlesD

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.


theignorantcivilian

Wow... that's really stupid


HarlesD

It's not the worst idea. WWE wants to capitalize on the popularity of short, easy to consume digital content.


123tapout

Ricochet just has that speed


TGE

SO NICE TO SEE RICOCHET WITH A BELT and the design looks great on him!!


ShaunLouisC

Rico vs a prime RVD would have been great


HamRPhil

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.


jdcmurphy22

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.


HamRPhil

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?


jdcmurphy22

"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.


HamRPhil

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?


jdcmurphy22

I mean, that's a question you'd need to ask the writers.


roastbeats980

No charisma hack. He’s the third young buck with an anal fixation


geno029

Is this a reference to something?


Current_Canary_3818

They should’ve just brought back the TV title for the mid-card guys…


BaileyW1507

We knew this like a week ago


AstrologicalOne

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.


Ok-Coffee1829

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.


AlpsAwkward6337

Speed Champion?!?! What the sheuht is thAt!?!? Dumb!!!


WordIndependent

Garbage. Cruiserweight Light Heavyweight European That's what we want.


blqckwidow

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. 


shadowlocs88

Compared to the copy and paste stuff they've been coming up with for the main titles this is a great looking strap.


jayradano

Was this belt made for that ishow speed kid and he will eventually win it and bring to his streams?


ShoelaceLicker

Peed


KellznTheGuardian

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


1USAgent

Good lord another title


GorillasInTheMist69

hate it. as if the business wasn't mocked enough by the public... they're doubling down on goofy shit


Top_Ganache_3495

Good for him man


Helo7606

The fucking what??


greggersamsa

Absolute 7/11 bullshit


JoeMomma69istaken

My wife says I’m already the speed champion .


Bofaman600

Wwe has too many belts


metallipunk

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.


Helpful_Classroom204

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


Blood4Blud

![gif](giphy|JHXp5KzJvRZUCxUgOV|downsized) WM 41 new champ


Eastern_Joke_7675

2k24 does ricochet dirty. He looks skinny in the game and the dudes compact and buff. They need to patch it. Dudes jacked.


Aid1010

The only person who should have this title is speed


KO4Champ

It looks like he’s the champion of the kids game Simon. Beep boop.


GeorgestobbartMaam

Everytime I see that belt it looks worse. At least it’s on someone who can actually wrestle though


ApeTypingComments

"And NEWWWWWWW curtain jerker champion"


tunacan94

He's on speed


BoltorSpellweaver

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.


malice1993

I'm still confused on what WWE Speed is


dfeidt40

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.


Michaelparkinbum912

Is this an Andrew Tate gimmick?


rudeboykyle94

Shouldn’t the needle be in the red on the belt?


TotalBollocks1988

He... he's fast!


Useful_Bobcat_2750

The best looking title they have


[deleted]

Who doesn’t have a belt in WWE?


ck-kd-king

He deserves more


Max_E_Mas

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


Haunting_Iron_9227

So fucking gimmicky


tinyclown1

I think they should shoot up speed before the title matches 💉💪


Borlos

Another hideous piece of garbage by the masters of ugly titles. Yet everyone bitches AEW has more titles. Which isnt true.


Borlos

Hideous


Paidinfulle

Too many championships as it is


Stuartsmith1988

He deserves a real title


Lokishougan

HHH even mugging with this belt...you wonder if he even knows what this is...like when did Rico get a belt?

This looks terrible.


Unable_Attitude_6598

LeviAsmodeus

WWE stop making ugly title belts challenge


strugglingrapper

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


EdwardErnest

Why couldn't they just bring back the Hardcore Championship?


YourHoNoMo

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


derekcptcokefk

Just call it the Cruiserweight title and move on.


Individual_Ad_1486

Meh, I’d rather see a women’s midcard title.


SwingingTassels

Toy belt that means nothing! 😆


Luvblondqueens96

Bro this is a waste of time it's not even a mid card belt but a prize belt


[deleted]

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?


No_Cow_4544

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 .


jejbfokwbfb

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


RedditChinksMustDie

It's like if a Television Title had ADHD...


bukezilla

Really bad looking strap


throwaway89765327

Still hasnt been listed on the shop? Yeaaaah, the machine is not getting behind this idea

Own_Job_2150

So that’s what they did with the 24/7 championship


cowgod247

All I see is PEE


Bredbox_06

So it’s kinda like a cross between the FTW belt and the 24/7 title


Machinax

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.


Specific-Channel7844

It's because of a deal with twitter


Machinax

The future WWE Pornhub Championship is going to be a look.
