WWE Champion Taken To Hospital After Sick Attack
One planned WWE title match for an upcoming major show now has major question marks over it after one of the competitors was taken to hospital.
Ridge Holland broke hearts when he ended Chase U and in the process earned himself an NXT Championship match against Trick Williams at Deadline.
The two men have exchanged strong words previously but things went a step further when the two stars went face-to-face on the 3rd of December edition of NXT TV. WWE Hall of Famer Eric Bischoff was on hand to mediate their meeting, showering praise on both competitors, but they only had eyes for each other.

Both champion and challenger exchanged insults before things completely broke down into a wild brawl. Ridge Holland ended up dropping Williams on the announce table with his elevated DDT but the table did not collapse. The NXT Champion was then taken out of the arena on a stretcher.
Later in the show, it emerged that NXT General Manager Ava had accompanied Trick Williams to the hospital as she noted that the title match at Deadline was now in doubt.

However, there must have been good news from the hospital as later in the broadcast, Ava noted she was happy to make the match meaning that Williams must be fine to compete on December 7th.
