Lainey Reid has been a constant feature on WWE NXT over the past few weeks. She even challenged Jacy Jayne for the NXT Women's Title on the June 10 episode of the black and silver brand. Despite this loss, Lainey had impressed the management in NXT, and she was included as part of the Speed Title tournament. She defeated Faby Apache in the first round and then beat Candice LeRae in the finals to become the number one contender for the Speed Title at No Mercy.

However, he stated that Sol Ruca will still defend the Speed Title, but he didn't reveal who she was facing.

"It's some late breaking news. I was just informed by our medical team that late last night, Lainey Reid was injured during training. Therefore, she is not medically cleared to compete tonight for the Speed Championship. That being said, Sol Ruca will still defend the Speed Championship tonight at No Mercy.
