Lexis King is once more a champion in “WWE NXT” after defeating EK Prosper for the Men’s Speed Championship.
The Speed title was vacant and on the road in Tuesday’s tournament final after Elio LaFleur was forced out of motion with a shoulder injury, pitting Prosper against King after wins against Dorian Van Dux and Chazz Hall within the semi-finals respectively.
King entered the match flanked by the remainder of Birthright, who made their presence known throughout the match as Prosper continued to get the higher of King within the early stages.
TNA Knockouts World Champion Arianna Grace’s involvement specifically, putting herself between Prosper and a suicide dive to halt him, and later distracting him for the King to get the eventual win, proved to be crucial for the brand new Speed Champion.
For him it’s a second title since switching AEW for “NXT,” reigning as Heritage Cup Champion from December 2024 until April the next 12 months.
