The era of Chase University has sadly come to an end.
In a pivotal No. 1 contender’s match, Ridge Holland emerged victorious against Andre Chase during the climax of this week’s WWE NXT episode. This win not only catapulted Holland to the anticipated title fight against Trick Williams in NXT Deadline 2024, but also led to the dissolution of Chase U.
The added stipulation was incorporated into the agreement of the match when the contest was announced last week. Andre Chase entered the ring determined and was bolstered by the assistance from Chase U members intervening in the brawl. However, Ridge Holland proved to be an insurmountable adversary, tackling the numerous interferences to ultimately secure a thunderous pinfall victory. As the episode concluded with the credits, a surprised audience and a discomposed Chase U strewn around the ringside area formed the concluding visuals.
OH MY GOD.
