Eric Bischoff Crashes WWE NXT: ‘Next Week, I’m Coming to NXT’
Former WCW President Eric Bischoff has announced that he’ll be making the trip to Orlando for an in-person appearance at next week’s episode of NXT.
This week’s episode of the Black & Silver show featured Trick Williams in a segment where he talked about his upcoming Deadline title defence against Ridge Holland. Holland later came out to deliver some words of his own.
The segment didn’t end with just the two of them, however, and Eric Bischoff appeared on the Titan Tron to address both the stars. The wrestling veteran revealed that he’ll be attending next week’s episode of the show in person to test both the NXT talents:
“Now, Trick, you’re right. Things have been very chaotic in NXT, and I really enjoyed it. But next week, I want to get a closer look because next week, I’m coming to NXT.
Ridge, you want the NXT title so bad? Trick, you want to keep it, right? Well, we’re going to find out how bad. What makes both you guys tick? If you think tensions are high right now, by the time I’m done, you guys are going to want to destroy each other at Deadline. Hell, maybe right there in the room. See you next week.”
Ridge Holland originally won the title shot by defeating Andre Chase on the November 19 episode of the show. The loss not only cost Andre the title opportunity but his Chase U faction was also forced to disband after it.
The NXT Deadline event will be taking place from The Armory in Minneapolis, Minnesota on Saturday, December 7.
