Judgment Day member JD McDonagh is heading to the next round of the WWE Speed Championship tournament.
After premiering last week, a new episode of WWE Speed debuted on X/Twitter on Wednesday. It featured one match with McDonagh defeating Axiom. McDonagh is now set for a matchup against Ricochet in the semifinals of WWE’s tournament to crown the inaugural Speed Champion.

Matches on WWE Speed have a three-minute time limit. McDonagh vs. Axiom ended with 36 seconds left on the clock. McDonagh connected with a headbutt before falling on top of Axiom to get the pinfall victory.
The McDonagh vs. Axiom match was taped before last Friday’s SmackDown in Philadelphia.
It was announced that a first-round match between Johnny Gargano and Angel will air on WWE Speed next Wednesday. The winner of that match advances to face Bronson Reed in the tournament semifinals.
Last week, Ricochet defeated Dragon Lee and Reed defeated Cedric Alexander in the first two Speed matches.
WWE and X’s partnership for WWE Speed is a two-year deal with the show airing weekly.
