Chelsea Green’s championship campaign WWE takes center stage as one of her accomplished Secret Hervice teammates, Alba Fyre, ignites her own chase for gold just as the Women’s United States Championship scene grows more intense. The competition heated up on Wednesday when Fyre overcame B-Fab in an opening round clash, fueling new momentum for both her own ambitions and Green’s coalition within WWE.
Alba Fyre Defeats B-Fab in Tournament Opener
Alba Fyre outperformed B-Fab during their head-to-head on X, launching the tournament to determine the next challenger for WWE Speed Women’s Champion Sol Ruca. B-Fab, having been left out of this year’s Queen of the Ring tournament, entered the match with a point to prove after voicing her determination on social media earlier in the month. Reflecting this fiery attitude, she declared,
“I don’t have to be in the Queen of the Ring tournament to keep that crown on me,”
—B-Fab, WWE Superstar
B-Fab capitalized on her early aggression with punishing strikes and a dropkick that nearly secured her victory. Meanwhile, Fyre’s distinctive approach — including jawing at the referee and motioning for a timeout at the start under Speed’s tight time limit — put a unique stamp on the match’s opening moments. WWE promoted the showdown, highlighting the tournament’s stakes and matchup for fans,

Still, after surviving B-Fab’s early offense, Fyre countered a neckbreaker, sending B-Fab’s head into the turnbuckle and landing a devastating headscissors. Despite B-Fab’s late surge and encouragement from the crowd, Fyre delivered a stunning superkick followed by the Gory Bomb, securing the three-count and moving forward in the tournament.
Chelsea Green and the Rise of the Secret Hervice
Fyre’s advancement occurs two months after Chelsea Green lost the WWE Women’s United States Championship to Zelina Vega on Smackdown. Since her title setback, Green and her Secret Hervice allies, including Piper Niven, have targeted individual championships, keeping their faction in WWE’s spotlight. Piper Niven and Fyre both exited early in the Queen of the Ring tournament, but Fyre’s latest win puts Secret Hervice back in the title mix.
What’s Next in the Speed Women’s Contender Tournament?
Looking ahead, the WWE Speed tournament continues with NXT talents Thea Hail and Nikkita Lyons battling for a chance to advance. Lyons enters seeking redemption after a five-match losing streak — which includes falling to current Speed and NXT North American Women’s Champion Sol Ruca. Hail, on the other hand, has surged in her recent matches, marking five wins out of her last six, making her a slight favorite. Their upcoming encounter is scheduled for Friday at noon ET on X, with the winner moving forward to challenge Alba Fyre.
The growing intensity of the Women’s United States Championship scene, combined with the emergence of Secret Hervice members like Alba Fyre and the ongoing efforts of Chelsea Green, ensures heightened intrigue for WWE fans. Each competitor’s journey adds depth to a crowded and evolving division where every match shapes the path to championship glory.
