Ridge Holland defeats Joseph Conners

Ridge Holland defeats Joseph Conners: NXT UK March 19

Result: Ridge Holland defeats Joseph Conners

Match: As Holland ran at Conners, Joseph ducked and got in a several shots. Holland overpowered Conners and hit a tilt-a-whirl slam. With Conners on the mat, Holland rammed his forearm into the side of Conners head. After Holland fell to the outside, Conners hit a suicide dive and a cross body for a one count. Conners began to work on Holland’s leg (old rugby injury). On the outside of the ring, Conners wrapped Holland’s leg around the post and then continued to kick and stretch the leg.

When Conners came off the top rope, Holland caught him and hit an overhead belly to belly suplex. Holland followed up with a second suplex, a headbutt, and a clothesline. The advantage really didn’t last long as Conners went back to the leg. Holland caught Conners running into the corner, and Holland reversed the offense into True Grit for the pinfall victory.
