Ridge Holland is WWE champion; faction formed 3 years ago finally wins gold again

Ridge Holland just won his first WWE title. He won the NXT Tag Team Championship along with another member of his faction.

Chase University is one of the most popular factions on the NXT roster. The stable has come a long way and has grown much since its formation three years ago. The members even previously won the NXT Tag Team Championship.

Over the years, the group has grown to add and remove members, with Ridge Holland being the latest addition. However, his inclusion in Chase U didn't go down well with everyone, as Riley Osborne initially didn't trust the former Brawling Brute due to his past actions.

However, Ridge has since been trying to prove himself to them and even got them a tag title opportunity. This time, he teamed up with Andre Chase.

Tonight's tag title match between Chase U, Nathan Frazer, and Axiom was exciting and fast-paced. Although Holland said he would do anything to win the titles, he didn't try any underhanded tactics. In the end, Chase U was able to pick up the win.

Following the win, Chase University and its students filled the ring to celebrate this momentous occasion as the show went off the air.

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. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
