Ridge Holland, who had been recovering from a gruesome leg injury since October, made his return to the black-and-gold brand. He came to the ring after a tag team match between Timothy Thatcher & Tommaso Ciampa and Pete Dunne & Oney Lorcan. Holland reportedly aligned with Imperium at the tapings.
He had suffered a fractured left ankle, dislocated knee cap and ruptured patella in a match against Danny Burch on the October 7 episode of WWE NXT.
