Ridge Holland earns WWE NXT title match for Deadline, Chase U forced to disband

It’s on for Ridge Holland and Trick Williams, but it’s all over for Chase U.

In the main event of Tuesday’s NXT, Ridge Holland defeated Andre Chase in a number one contender’s match for the NXT Championship, earning a title match for Deadline on December 7. The stipulation had been if Chase were to lose, the relationship between him and Chase U members Riley Osborne, Thea Hail, and Duke Hudson would come to an end. 

Towards the end of the match, Chase made a fierce comeback after all of his students were laid out at ringside, including Hail after Osborne accidently took her out while going for a dive on Holland. Chase hit a middle rope powerbomb for a nearfall, but ended up falling to the Redeemer (implant DDT) for the win.

The end of NXT saw Chase near tears as he looked at his fallen students, despondent over the results.

Shortly after NXT ended, Chase U reacted to the news on social media, including Chase:
