Ridge Holland Dominates In Return To The Ring
Ridge Holland is back on WWE NXT, and he has put the entire brand on notice.
On Tuesday night, he competed in his first match since October. Holland suffered a severe leg injury in a freak accident during an episode of WWE NXT, and he had been absent until he returned last week. Ikemen Jiro was Holland’s victim in this bout; the big man utterly overpowered Iro and tossed him around the ring.
Jiro briefly tried to rally, but Holland regained control and slammed Jiro for the decisive victory. After the match, Pete Dunne said that, along with Holland and Oney Lorcan, they’re the baddest men in NXT.

Ted DiBiase Consoles Cameron Grimes
Cameron Grimes suffered a disappointing defeat on Tuesday, but there might be some hope for brighter days ahead.
This week on WWE NXT, Grimes, who has been forced into service as LA Knight‘s butler, teamed up with the Million Dollar Champion in a match. The duo faced the Grizzled Young Veterans in a tag team bout, but Knight abandoned his butler in the middle of the match. Grimes tried his best, but the numbers game was too much for him. In the end, James Drake and Zack Gibson emerged victorious in what turned into a handicap match.
After the bell, Ted DiBiase made his way to ringside and comforted Grimes. He gave the young star some advice, as he told Grimes that he needs to get out of this situation with Knight. DiBiase has often been involved in Grimes’ feud with Knight; the Million Dollar Champion attacked DiBiase after the legend presented him with the belt. Before that, he had briefly aligned with Grimes and Knight at different points.
"I know you're a man of your word, but you gotta figure out some way to get out of this situation."
