  • The championship features a unique stipulation where matches have a five-minute time limit and are streamed exclusively on WWE's online platform, Speed. The tournament culminated in Candice LeRae defeating Iyo Sky in the final to become the first Women's Speed Champion.

WWE superstar Zelina Vega has withdrawn from the Queen of the Ring tournament due to a ruptured implant, an injury she sustained during a match on the previous Friday's episode of "WWE SmackDown." Vega, who has been a prominent figure in WWE, was set to compete against Shayna Baszler in the first round of the tournament. Despite her injury, Vega expressed her disappointment on social media but remained optimistic about her recovery, stating she would be back soon. Her withdrawal has led to a change in the tournament lineup, with Maxxine Dupri stepping in to face Baszler. This injury adds to Vega's history of setbacks, as she had previously taken time off for a shoulder injury in 2022.
