WWE SmackDown star Nathan Frazer has commented ahead of returning to NXT to compete in the men’s Speed tournament.
Tuesday’s (May 26) NXT episode will see the start of the tournament to crown WWE Speed Champion Lexis King’s future challenger, with Sean Legacy vs Dorian Van Dux previously announced as a first round match.
SmackDown’s Nathan Frazer has now shared a video revealing that he will compete in a first round match against Romeo Moreno, fka Zozaya.
In a video shared to Twitter, Frazer stated that he had called up Shawn Michaels to add him to the tournament, noting:
“So, Lexis King is parading himself around, calling himself the fastest man alive. I happen to think that’s an insult to the business, so I’ve decided to do something about it. I called up Shawn Michaels and I said ‘Put me in the next Speed tournament, now.’
“He has granted my request, and it turns out there’s kind of like an international vibe to this tournament. In the first round they have me going up against Romeo Moreno.
“It turns out he’s from España, he’s from Madrid, the same place that (Axiom) is from. Wouldn’t be the first time I beat a kid from Madrid.”

After Axiom pointed out that it wouldn’t be the first time he lost to a kid from Madrid either, Frazer continued:
“Tune in at 8pm on the CW Network to NXT and watch Nathan Frazer fulfill his destiny by becoming the WWE Speed Champion. Always remember, nobody is faster than Frazer.”

This will be Nathan Frazer’s first match on NXT since the April 2025 Stand & Deliver event, where he and Axiom dropped the NXT Tag Team Championship to Hank Walker and Tank Ledger.
It will be interesting to see how far Frazer goes in the tournament, with whoever defeats him gaining momentum from pinning or submitting a main roster star.
