A top champion had to be stretchered out of the arena after a brutal assault on tonight's show. NXT GM Ava was concerned about his well-being after the attack.

Trick Williams has been involved in a feud with Ridge Holland after the latter attacked him at NXT Halloween Havoc 2024. Ridge earned the right to face Trick for the NXT Championship after he defeated Andre Chase on the November 19 episode of NXT. Some fans feel Ridge will be the toughest and most dangerous opponent the NXT Champion has faced during his title reign.

Tonight on NXT, both men came face-to-face in a segment that also involved Eric Bischoff. After a back-and-forth exchange of words, Holland got into the head of Trick, which caused the latter to punch him. However, this backfired on the NXT Champion as Ridge Holland laid him out on the announcer's table. Following the attack, Trick had to be carried out of the arena on a stretcher.

After the segment, Sarah Schreiber provided an update that NXT GM Ava had left the arena in an ambulance along with Trick Williams. She also mentioned that Ava wasn't sure what would happen with the title match at Deadline.

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.
