Trick Williams provides storyline update following WWE NXT attack

Trick Williams is ready for Deadline.

The NXT Champion posted a video on social media Friday night saying he has checked out of the hospital and is cleared to compete against Ridge Holland at Saturday’s premium live event. He said that while Holland injured his neck, there’s no way he’ll take the NXT title away from him.

“I want this bad. I’m doing this for Chase U, I’m doing this for NXT, and I’m doing this for me. I’ll see you tomorrow,” he concluded.

Williams was attacked by Holland on Tuesday’s NXT after the two met face-to-face thanks to the efforts of Eric Bischoff. The segment ended with Holland giving Williams a DDT on top of the announcer’s table, causing him to be stretched out.

The finalized card for Saturday’s WWE NXT Deadline. The show streams beginning at 7 p.m. Eastern time on Peacock:
