Ridge Holland Breaks Silence After NXT Title Loss at Deadline

Ridge Holland is finally speaking out following his hard-fought loss to Trick Williams for the NXT Championship at NXT Deadline. Taking to Twitter, the bruising challenger delivered a cryptic message that left fans speculating about his next move.

“Thou doth not know what thou have done…..be seein ya! #wwenxt #wwe,” Holland tweeted, hinting that his loss may not be the end of this story.

Holland’s journey to the title match was as intense as the match itself. He earned his shot at the gold by defeating Andre Chase on the November 19 episode of NXT, a bout that carried massive stakes—Chase U’s survival as a stable. After securing the win, Holland made sure to rub salt in the wounds, trolling the disbanded faction in classic heel fashion.

At NXT Deadline, Holland brought his signature physicality, relentlessly targeting Trick Williams’ neck and even tearing off the champion’s Kinesio Tape mid-match. Despite his best efforts, Holland fell to Williams’ devastating Trick Shot finisher, allowing Williams to retain the NXT Championship.

With Oba Femi now in line as the next challenger for the NXT Title following his Men’s Iron Survivor Challenge victory, it’s unclear what Ridge Holland’s cryptic tweet foreshadows. Could he have unfinished business with Trick Williams, or is a new chapter about to unfold? Only time will tell.
