Alba Fyre recently made a strong push to capture the WWE Women’s Speed Championship, aiming to bring the title back into Chelsea Green’s camp. Following victories over B-Fab and Thea Hail in the Speed tournament, Fyre challenged reigning champion Sol Ruca on Wednesday but was unable to secure the win.
Match Highlights Show Fyre’s Early Control but Ruca’s Resilience Prevails
The match started in Fyre’s favor as she controlled Ruca early with focused mat wrestling techniques. Fyre gained a momentary advantage after landing a sharp forearm strike to Ruca’s chin during an exchange with the referee. She then intensified her assault by stomping on the back of Ruca’s head and narrowly missed a pin attempt after hitting a Swanton Bomb.
The crowd’s energy shifted when they began doing a wave in support of Ruca, who holds both the WWE Women’s Speed Championship and the NXT Women’s North American Championship. This surge appeared to fuel Ruca’s comeback, which included a powerful knee strike to Fyre’s torso.
Decisive Move Secures Ruca’s Title Retention
In the final moments, Sol Ruca unexpectedly sprang off the ropes instead of the corner to execute her signature Sol Snatcher, securing the victory and maintaining her reign as champion. This successful defense marked another frustrating outcome for Alba Fyre in her attempt to claim the title.
Setbacks Continue for Chelsea Green’s Group as Upcoming Prospects Remain Uncertain
Fyre’s defeat adds to a series of challenges facing Chelsea Green and her faction, known as the Secret Hervice. After Green lost the Women’s United States Championship, both Fyre and Piper Niven entered title pursuits but faced early eliminations. Both were ousted during the opening round of the Queen of the Ring tournament, and their attempts for the Women’s Tag Team Titles also ended unsuccessfully.
With the all-women’s Evolution event approaching, slots for the battle royal remain open, yet Green’s team has not announced who will compete. The group continues to seek opportunities to regain championship gold amid ongoing struggles.
