WWE faction ends after years on NXT
Trick Williams‘ next challenger emerged during the November 19 edition of WWE NXT. Ridge Holland secured his opportunity after defeating Andre Chase in the main bout, which carried significant stakes beyond title contention.
The bout came with a crucial stipulation: Chase U would disband if Andre Chase lost. The contest received special introductions from Mike Rome, with Trick Williams observing from ringside.
Holland dominated early, weathering support from the NXT Arena crowd adorned in Chase U merchandise. Chase mounted a comeback with a diving attack from the apron. After the break, Holland attempted to use a chair but was thwarted by the referee.
The action intensified when Duke Hudson intervened, leading to a brawl that ended with Holland putting him through the set. Riley Osbourne executed a dive over the top rope, taking out both Holland and Thea Hale.
Holland responded by throwing Osbourne to the exposed floor. Chase rallied with his signature stomps and a top-rope powerbomb, but Holland persevered. The decisive moment came when Chase attempted a crossbody, only for Holland to catch and counter with his finisher for the victory.
