It appears that Mike Santana has a match at Victory Road.
Before this huge TNA vs. NXT war unfolded on Tuesday, Ridge Holland made his grand return by attacking the New York native. Mike Santana has an opportunity against Trick Williams at the company’s BFG pay-per-view on October 12th. During his promo on Impact! Ridge Holland blindsided Santana and took him out in a nasty looking cradle DDT.
Now it wasn’t clear why Holland targeted the TNA wrestler. However, the NXT star filled in the gaps by confirming that him and Trick Williams made a little deal to take Mike Santana out before Bound For Glory.
Come here, I want to chat. Come on, Mike. You know to keep your head on a swivel. Ridge Holland is here for a reason. You see, Trick and I, we’ve come to an agreement, an arrangement, if you will, and he’s gifted me an opportunity, a golden opportunity, actually. I take you out, and I get a shot at a TNA World Title.
Now, it’s not personal, Mike, it’s just business, cause I actually like you, just a little bit. But I’m a businessman, and you, to me, you’re just a payday. Now, I’ve been waiting, patiently waiting, biding my time for the biggest spotlight to make my return to the main event scene and what better way than to take out TNA Wrestling’s golden boy? Mike, Victory Road, I’ll be seeing you.”
Mike Santana vs. Ridge Holland hasn’t been made official just yet, but it surely seems that’s the direction for Victory Road. Ridge Holland hasn’t been seen on NXT television since May.
The 37-year-old was down in WWE’s Evolve after failing to become the number contender for the NXT Championship in a huge battle royal. It should be a good match that provides Santana with a distraction as Trick is dealing with the controversial end to the winner-takes-all match.
Santana got into a scrap with the TNA World Champion and the situation escalated into a full blown invasion from TNA. The WWE vs. NXT war has finally arrived and Holland seems like the first guy that Santana has to deal with in this newfound war. We should get more information on TNA Impact!
