10 Things That Should Happen On NXT After TakeOver XXX
9. Ridge Holland Challenging Damian Priest for the NA Championship
He’s only been featured twice on NXT TV since coming back from NXT UK, but to say Ridge Holland has been impressive is an understatement. He is immediately captivating with his unique look, as well as a vicious move-set inside the ropes. Holland showed his seemingly limitless potential in his recent Triple Threat qualification match and in his singles match against Johnny Gargano. With the loss of Keith Lee and the apparent writing off television for Dominik Dijakovic, NXT is in need of a new hoss battle to define the next few months of the brand.
In their triple threat match also including Oney Lorcan, the brief exchanges between the invigorating Holland and the new North American champion Damian Priest were electrifying. Priest's on the run of his career right now, standing out with his power, agility and charisma and could easily help assist Holland to a fantastic title contest.
Even if it’s a losing effort right now, Ridge Holland could catapult his status in the company even more with this massive opportunity, and would prove Priest as a fighting champion capable of contending with the toughest opponents. Both men have many more matches in their future, but colliding now would be best for both.
