The bell rings and Chase fires off strikes on Holland. Holland responds with a pair of belly-to-belly suplexes on Chase and pins him, but Chase kicks out. Holland exposes the concrete on the outside as we see Chase U keeping a close eye on the action from backstage. Duke Hudson walks off as Chase delivers a superkick to Holland off the apron and flies off it to level Holland.
AdvertisementBack from the break, Chase hits a neckbreaker on Holland and fires off a couple of knees on his jaw. Holland responds with a knee to Chase's head and sends him crashing into the mat, then goes for a pin but Chase kicks out. Holland grabs a chair from the outside and looks to use it, but the referee grabs it from him and disposes of him. Holland low blows Chase as the referee does so, then connects with a Cradle DDT and goes for a pin.
Hudson appears at ringside and pulls the referee out of the ring as Thea Hail stands by. Hudson fires off right hands on Holland and looks to send him crashing through the exposed concrete, but Holland sends him crashing through part of the "NXT" set. Riley Osborne then flies over the top to level Holland (and inadvertently Hail). He fires off a few strikes on him, but Holland gets Osborne above his head and sends him crashing into the exposed concrete on the outside.
AdvertisementA fired up and angered Chase rains down strikes on Holland and levels him with a Russian Leg Sweep. He follows it up with the Chase U Stomps and sends him crashing into the mat, then goes for a pin but Holland kicks out. Chase sends Holland crashing into the mat with a sit-out powerbomb and pins him again, but Holland kicks out. Chase then ascends to the top and looks to connect with a crossbody on Chase, but Holland intercepts him and lands a cradle DDT on him for the win.
