Chase University Championship Celebration 

Andre Chase: Thank you. It’s a new year here at Chase University. New students. New classrooms. And new NXT Tag Team Champions.

Thea Hail: Mr. Chase, Ridge, I’m so proud of you. You really did prove that you’re Chase U through and through.

Duke Hudson: Congratulations, Ridge. All the way from the rugby fields, to Chase University, your desire, your passion, your intensity, it’s a little much sometimes, but it was exactly what Chase University needed to bring the gold home.

Riley Osborne: Ridge, you know, I gave you a little bit of flack when you got here, but you made a believer out of me, and you got your first ever championship in NXT.

Andre Chase: Guys, I couldn’t agree more. Ridge, without you, I wouldn’t be standing here as the NXT Tag Team Champion. So, on behalf of Duke, Riley, Thea, and the entire student body, Ridge, we want to say, thank you.

Nathan Frazer: Hey, congrats on the last week, guys. Genuinely, good job. It was a tremendous win. I hate to break up this little party, but me and my amigo here have something that we want to talk to you about.

Axiom: Because you were the better team that day, but we just don’t think that you’re the better team every day. Because we are, we are the best tag team in NXT.

Nathan Frazer: And say it louder for the people in the back. And admittedly, we might have run ourselves into the ground for the past couple of weeks. I mean, The Rascalz match, back-to-back speed matches, back-to-back tournaments. Ridge, you picked a perfect time to challenge us for the NXT Tag Team Titles. But we figured, right now would be the perfect time to ask you.

Ridge Holland: Boys, boys, boys. Look, I’m sorry to cut you off, and I appreciate all the kind words. But what I don’t appreciate is that you interrupted a Chase U moment. Yeah, Chase U, the little engine that could, the underdogs that never give up. The greatest strength lies in never giving up, and that’s what Chase U taught me. I came to NXT to find myself. But the more I look, the more I was lost. I couldn’t take the pressure, the whispers. Everybody turned their back on me. But Chase U stood by my side. Mr. Chase told me to take things one day at a time. Thea Hail rebuilt my confidence and showed me that I can mix it up with the very best in NXT. Duke and Riley, they challenged me to prove that my heart was pure. I care about the university that they wear on the chest every single day. I busted my ass for six years to become a champion, and last week, I did it. But last week was bigger than me. Last week was about bringing gold to Chase U. And I begged, I pleaded, casting all my favors with my mission statement. And the mission statement is, mission accomplished.

Axiom: Well, that is lovely mate, but we still want our tag team title match.

Riley Osborne: Woah, if you want your tag team title match, you’re going to have to go through the heart of Chase University.

Duke Hudson: How about this, boys? How about if you go through the MVP Duke Hudson and The Daredevil Riley Osborne, then maybe, just maybe you’ll get a tag team title rematch at No Mercy.

Nathan Frazer: We accept. Well, then, we’ll see you boys later tonight.

Duke Hudson: See, that’s the thing about Chase U, we’re always ready.
