A massive WWE star paid homage to Trish Stratus tonight at a WWE Show. He hit a picture-perfect Stratusfaction on a chamion.

Duke Hudson has shown great growth since joining Chase University. He has come into his own and become one of the most popular stars on the roster. Hudson is also the current MVP of Chase U. Throughout the years, he has stuck by Andre Chase's side through thick and thin.

An excellent example of his maturity is when he exposed Ridge Holland, who helped him cheat during one of his earlier matches. As a result, the latter got Duke an NXT North American Championship match tonight against Oba Femi to make up for it.

The match was highly competitive, and both showed a lot of grit and determination. Hudson was willing to do anything to win the North American Championship. The 6'5" star even paid homage to Trish Stratus by hitting a picture-perfect Stratusfaction on Femi.

However, it wasn't enough, as Oba Femi ended up retaining the title after a grueling match.

This match shows that Duke Hudon might be ready to move to the next level and even challenge for the NXT Championship.

According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker.
