The WWE Speed Championship is a men's professional wrestling championship created and promoted by the American promotion WWE. It is a specialized championship for NXT, the promotion's developmental brand, in which matches have a five-minute time limit. The current champion is NXT's Elio LeFleur, who is in his first reign. He defeated previous champion Jasper Troy and Eli Knight in a triple threat match on the February 24, 2026, episode of NXT, which was also the first time the title was contested in a triple threat match which had an extended seven-minute time limit.
The title was unveiled on March 27, 2024, to be exclusively defended on Speed, which streamed exclusively on the social media platform X. It was originally regarded as an internet championship and was open to wrestlers from Raw, SmackDown, and NXT. The inaugural champion was Ricochet, who was a member of the Raw roster at the time of his reign. On August 24, 2025, following the cancellation of Speed, the title was officially moved to the NXT brand but still open to challengers from Raw and SmackDown, as well as the Evolve brand and WWE ID program, and wrestlers from partner promotion Total Nonstop Action Wrestling and Mexican sister promotion Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide.
