Xavier Woods for WWE Speed?
On July 3, Xavier Woods earned an opportunity to challenge for the WWE Speed Championship, currently held by Andrade, following his win over Nathan Frazer in the semi-finals of the Speed Tournament.
Woods spoke about how he believes it’s the kickstart he needs for his career.
“You know your boy does not lose in tournaments. I just became the number one contender for the Speed Championship. Some of you might be wondering what that even means. The Speed Championship is another championship that WWE has to offer. You become champion, you make more money. You become champion, that is how you build your legacy. Yes, I am a tag team specialist. Yes, I am a member of the greatest tag team to ever exist in this industry. Yes, but the problem that I’ve had for years, for 11 years, the 11 years that I’ve been on the main roster, is that I have been unable to hold a singles championship. So for me, this is just not a championship to parade around on Twitter, to parade around in the back and show everybody how cool I am. This is a championship that will help me begin to define my legacy. It’s soon about to be the era of Xavier Woods,” Woods said.
Woods would go on to unsuccessfully challenge for the WWE Speed Championship. He has also been involved in a feud with Karrion Kross’s Final Testament alongside Kofi Kingston of the New Day.
