Today’s episode of WWE Speed featured Montez Ford and Austin Theory battling it out in the ongoing tournament to determine the next challenger for the WWE Speed Championship.
Unfortunately, neither man advanced as the bout ended in a time-limit draw, with Theory and Ford continuing to trade blows after the bell. This means that Je’Von Evans, who was set to face the winner, gets a free pass through the quarterfinals and advances straight to the semifinals.
