Its certainly possible and there are theories that earths rotational speed has been changed due to impacts with other solar and interstellar bodies, how you choose to interpret these events is up to you I suppose.
As far as what has been currently determined is that the earth's day was 5 hours long during early formation, whether this is from angular momentum or other events is still up for debate, but tidal locking has slowed it to the approximately 24 hours that it is now.
