Coming off of his spotlighted moment at the conclusion of TakeOver 31, Ridge Holland went one-on-one with Danny Burch and picked up a win. After his victory, Holland continued beating on Burch which led to Oney Lorcan coming out. Oney attempted to hit a crossbody onto Holland but Holland’s foot was not straight when he came down with Lorcan.
Doesn’t look great for Ridge Holland, the ref through up the X as well.
Hopefully it’s not too serious. #WWENXT pic.twitter.com/KeyKwe04Z2
