WWE Head of Creative Triple H has sent a message to hype up a high-stakes match ahead of the upcoming edition of Friday Night SmackDown. A former champion is set to be in action ahead of the show.
On November 20, the Stamford-based company aired the WWE Speed Title match between Andrade and Dragon Lee. The LWO member won the contest to become the new champion. After the bout, the brackets to name the No. 1 contender for the Women's Speed Championship were also revealed.
In one of the first-round contests, former Divas Champion Natalya will lock horns with SmackDown Superstar B-Fab. The match will air today at 12 pm ET exclusively on X (FKA Twitter). Ahead of the bout, Triple H took to his X/Twitter account to hype up the tournament match:
"The first round continues as we kick off an action-packed weekend with @NatbyNature vs. @TheVibeBri TODAY on #WWESpeed, 12pm ET / 9am PT exclusively on @X," he wrote.

The winner of the upcoming match will face Zelina Vega in the quarter-final. The 33-year-old defeated Chelsea Green in the opening round. It remains to be seen who will make it to the final and face the inaugural Women's Speed Champion, Candice LeRae, for the title.
Before competing in the No. 1 contender's tournament for the Women's Speed Championship, B-Fab locked horns with Bayley and Candice LeRae on her SmackDown debut on the November 15 edition of the show.
Although The Role Model won the contest to move one step closer to becoming the inaugural WWE Women's United States Champion, B-Fab received a lot of praise for her impressive performance. After the match, Triple H shared a behind-the-scenes video on X/Twitter while applauding the 34-year-old on her SmacDown debut.
"Last week, @TheVibeBri made a big impact in her #SmackDown debut. All of the hard work continues to pay off. The Women’s United States Championship Tournament continues tonight," he wrote.
Despite the praiseworthy outing, B-Fab failed to secure the win. It will be interesting to see how she fares in the Women's Speed No. 1 Contender's Tournament.
