Ridge Holland was once an important member of Chase U, and many believed he would stay with the group for good. However, things took a turn when he became a heel and started feuding with Chase U. This rivalry came to a head on NXT this week when Holland defeated Andre Chase, leading to the group’s disbandment. Following Chase U’s breakup, Holland has made his first comments on the matter.
As seen during the November 19 episode of NXT, Andre Chase faced Ridge Holland in a high-stakes #1 Contenders Match for the NXT Championship. Adding to the pressure, the match carried a special stipulation: if Chase lost, his faction, Chase U, would be forced to disband.
While many fans hoped and prayed Chase would somehow pull off a victory, that wasn’t the case as Ridge Holland defeated Andre Chase to secure the #1 contender’s spot and also brought Chase U to an end.
The crowd was clearly in shock, as Chase U had been a cornerstone of NXT since its debut in 2021 but nothing lasts forever. Ridge Holland took to Twitter and made his first remarks after Chase U’s disbandment, as he simply told fans to dry their eyes, saying, “Dry your eyes.”
We will have to wait and see whether Andre Chase and the rest will get involved in Ridge Holland’s NXT Title match against Trick Williams at the Deadline Premium Live Event next month, as fans feel their story is not yet done.
