WWE announces match for the first time in history after series of improvisations

Natalya secured her place in the WWE Speed tournament semi-finals following a victory over B-Fab. The match concluded with Natalya securing a pinfall with twenty-two seconds remaining on the three-minute clock, earning a first-time matchup against Michin with a championship opportunity at stake.

B-Fab, who replaced the injured Zelina Vega in the quarter-finals, shared her thoughts on the match outcome.

I have nothing but PURE RESPECT for @NatbyNature learning and growing under her wing has been a blessing. But remember I’m ALWAYS studying you and watching you so if you ever slip up against me it will be 1,2,3! Love you!

The winner of the upcoming semi-final bout between Natalya and Michin will advance to face Candice LeRae for the Women’s Speed Championship.

Injury forces tournament restructure

Zelina Vega’s withdrawal from the Speed tournament was confirmed during the broadcast, with Corey Graves announcing B-Fab as her replacement.

The setback follows Vega’s recent elimination from the Women’s Intercontinental Championship tournament, where she competed in a Triple Threat match against Lyra Valkyria and Ivy Nile on December 19.
