El Grande Americano's record-breaking reign ended; new WWE champion reacts!

El Grande Americano's record-breaking reign came to a shocking end on WWE NXT. Meanwhile, the newly crowned champion, Jasper Troy, broke silence on social media and reacted to his first-ever title win in the Stamford-based promotion.

El Grande Americano slowly became a bona fide name in the industry across WWE and AAA as a singles performer. Later, he created his faction, Los Americanos, with Rayo and Bravo Americano by his side. However, his historic reign as the record-breaking WWE Speed's Champion came to an end when he faced Jasper Troy.

On the latest edition of NXT, Americano defended his title against Troy and lost. In the match's final moments, the official caught the champion trying to cheat, and the challenger took advantage of it and landed his finishing move. After the match, Jasper Troy reacted to his win with a tweet on X.

"WHEAP SLEEP REAP," new Speed Champion's tweet on X.

It'll be interesting to see what's next for the Men's LFG winner on the developmental brand.

When did El Grande Americano become the longest-reigning WWE Speed Champion?

Earlier this year, El Grande Americano was in a feud with the Latino World Order on Monday Night RAW. After getting a win over Rey Fenix at WrestleMania 41 in Nevada, Americano went after the Speed Champion, Dragon Lee, and won the title in May 2025.

In July 2025, a new El Grande Americano appeared mysteriously following Chad Gable's shoulder injury. The new star behind the mask continues El Grande Americano's legacy and the Speed Championship reign. Later, the title was moved to the developmental brand, and Americano appeared on NXT.

Last month, a tournament kicked off, with the winner facing El Grande Americano for the title. Earlier this month, Americano surpassed Dragon Lee's previous reign, making him a record-breaker and the longest-reigning Speed Champion until recently. The former champion's record ended at 190 days.
