Chase U Forced To Disband As Ridge Holland Wins #1 Contender’s Match, Updated NXT Deadline Card

Chase University is no more.

Ridge Holland defeated Andre Chase in a No. 1 contender’s match in the main event of this week’s episode of WWE NXT to not only earn the next title shot opposite Trick Williams for NXT Deadline 2024, but to also force Chase U to disband.

The bonus stipulation was part of the agreement heading into the match when it was made last week. Although Andre Chase was fired up and even had some support from Chase U members interfering in the match, Holland proved to be too tall of a mountain to climb and pushed through the numbers game to score a devastating pinfall. A shocked audience and a dismayed Chase U strewn around the ringside area were the last shots of this week’s episode as the credits rolled on.

This result, along with the Iron Survivor Challenge qualifying matches from earlier, puts the current lineup for NXT Deadline to the following card:

• NXT Championship Match: Trick Williams (c) vs. Ridge Holland
• Men’s Iron Survivor Challenge Match: Je’Von Evans vs. Nathan Frazer vs. Wes Lee vs. (Axiom or Ethan Page) vs. TBD
• Women’s Iron Survivor Challenge Match:
  Sol Ruca vs. Stephanie Vaquer vs. Zaria vs. (Giulia or Kelani Jordan) vs. TBD
