WWE NXT Results (October 7th, 2020): Winners, Grades, and Video Highlights

Ridge Holland came to NXT to dominate

Backstage, Cameron Grimes explained that he attacked Dexter Lumis because he didn't answer Grimes when he asked him a question on NXT last week. Grimes said that it didn't matter who it was. Lumis, Ridge Holland, whoever. Grimes will take then all out and go straight to the moon.

"It was that liver shot. I hate to admit this, but I felt all hope escape my body, but it wasn't going to stop me from fighting back... and that's what makes a champion is someone willing to continue despite there being no hope." Wise words from @KORcombat. #WWENXT #NXTTakeOver pic.twitter.com/0uaIaveXKC

We got highlights of the Finn Balor/Kyle O'Reilly match. It was as hard-hitting and brutal as anyone would expect. After the match, a defeated O'Reilly accepted Balor's gesture of respect. Unfortunately, they were not able to celebrate long, as Ridge Holland had an unconscious Adam Cole ringside.

Ridge Holland vs Danny Burch on NXT

The Guvnor of NXT was able to wrestle Ridge Holland to the mat with a wrist lock. Holland overpowered him, though, breaking it with a clubbing blow. Burch changed his game up, rocking Holland with a series of big right hands.

Holland struggled to shake Burch's offense. A Bret's rope missile dropkick connected, as did a German suplex. A big clothesline set up for a crossface. Holland immediately broke the hold and finally got a big shot on Burch of his own.

The clothesline nearly decapitated Danny Burch. After that, Ridge Holland spiked him with the Northern Lights Bomb.

Results: Ridge Holland defeated Danny Burch via pinfall.

Grade: A-

After the match, Holland disrespected Burch, leading to the Guvnor to throw more hands with the big man. Holland beat him down with several headbutts, but was then attacked by the Star Destroyer Oney Lorcan. The refs separated the men, but Lorcan hit a big dive. Holland stood right back up, sending Lorcan into the ring.

Lorcan responded with some big chops and set up for his running uppercut, but was taken out with another massive lariat from Holland. Unfortunately for Holland, when he tried to catch Lorcan's second dive, his knee blew out and he fell over in extreme pain.

WWE cut away from the big man, but it's clear that NXT's newest monster may have suffered a serious injury.
