– We get a video recap of NXT Halloween Havoc.
Trick Williams & Bubba Ray Dudley Segment
Trick Williams: What? Holla? Yeah, I like it. Hey, yo, check it, let’s get straight down to business. We went to Halloween Havoc on Sunday, I walked through the devil’s playground, I washed my hands with the holy water, and I beat the hell out of Ethan Page to retain this NXT Title. But let’s get straight to it. I ain’t gonna lie, I’m in pain, right now. Ethan Page came out here, he told everybody that he was going to put me through pain I’ve never felt before, and I felt that. But what he didn’t tell me was, Ridge Holland was coming out to jump me after the match, so let’s talk about it. There’s one reason why I’m not in the hospital, right now. Now, Shawn Michaels, I know you invited him out tonight, so I need to talk to the WWE Hall Of Famer, himself. Somebody, can you please welcome, Bubba Ray Dudley. Hold on, Bubba, before you get started, look, I got to say thank you, thank you for having my back this past Sunday on Halloween Havoc, I appreciate that.
Bubba Ray Dudley: You know, you don’t have to thank me. I was just doing the right thing, Trick. It really wasn’t so much about you. It was about Ridge Holland. It was about Ridge Holland, and the disrespect that he showed towards me, that he showed towards my partner, Dave LaGreca, that he showed towards my radio show, Busted Open. He was disrespectful on the pre-show. He was disrespectful at Halloween Havoc. It was about him. But I gotta tell you, man, I gotta tell you that there’s one thing that I noticed. I’m watching your match, live, I’m watching you defend your championship in Devil’s Playground. I’m watching you get your hands raised. I’m listening to the people in Hershey cheer for you, Whoop That Trick. But as you’re getting beat down, I’m looking there, I’m looking towards that entry way, and I’m like, where’s the help, where’s somebody to help Trick Williams, where is his friends, a camera man, anybody? Not one person came to save you. Not one person came to your aid. Do you know why? The reason why, is because of this, right here. That’s why nobody came to help you, Trick, because you’re the NXT Champion. You are what they inspire to be. That might as well be a target on your back, a freaking bullseye. Here’s my best advice to you, my friend, you need to have eyes in the back of your head.
Trick Williams: I’m listening to you, Bubba. I hear you loud and clear, I promise you, I do. And while I’m working on getting eyes in the back of my head, I want revenge. I want revenge on Ethan. I want revenge on Ridge. Look, I know you do, too. And I’ve been on Busted Open Radio a few times, but I’ve never had the pleasure of seeing you, face-to-face, until Sunday at Halloween Havoc. So, with all that being said, I guess there’s one more thing to ask. I want revenge. I want a tag match. Hear me out. Ethan Page & Ridge Holland versus The NXT Champion Trick Williams, and Tag Team Hall Of Famer, I’m talking about one half of The Dudley Boyz, Bubba Ray Dudley, in the ECW Arena, let’s talk about it. I know you feel me.
Bubba Ray Dudley: I’ve known you now for about three minutes, and somehow you got my juices flowing, right now. You got me thinking about South Philadelphia. You got me thinking about the energy in the arena. You got me thinking about lacing my boots up one more time. You got me thinking about taking it to the extreme. You got me thinking, maybe I should wear the camos, maybe I should go old-school and with the tie-dye, maybe I should bust out these bad boys (glasses), maybe we have that moment when me and you are looking at each other, and I go, Trick, 1-2-3, get the tables. My god. But Trick, it’s not about me, Trick, it’s about you, it’s about you and every other wrestler in the locker room, who do it better than anybody else in the world, right now. It’s about every other man and woman in NXT. I can’t take their spots. I appreciate it, but I have to say no.

Ethan Page, Ridge Holland, Bubba Ray Dudley, Trick Williams Segment
Ethan Page: Ladies and gentlemen, if you think “All Ego” Ethan Page is done with the NXT Championship, you are sadly mistaken.
Ridge Holland: Ethan, Ethan, Ethan. Let me just hold up there for a second there, pal. Everyone is sick and tired of you. And I know you won the NXT Title when you first came here. You’ve had shot after shot, opportunity after opportunity, and unfortunately Trick Williams survived Halloween Havoc. But let me assure you, he won’t be holding onto that championship for too much longer, because I’m the man that’s going to knock Trick off his throne and take the NXT Championship. And Trick knows it, he knows, that’s why he asked Bully Ray to do his dirty work. And thankfully Bully Ray came to his senses and made the smartest decision of his life by rejecting Trick’s offer.
Bubba Ray Dudley: I think it’s time that me and you have a little talk. You know, before Halloween Havoc, I didn’t know that much about you. Now, in the past 48 hours, I’ve learned a lot about you. You have the commanded the conversation on Busted Open Radio. No matter where I turn, people are talking about Ridge Holland. So, what do I know about you now? I know that you’re one hell of a Rugby player. Tough. Fast. Agile. I can go on and on. A couple people back there smarten me up about you, too. Shattered both of your legs, came back after only eight months. I gotta tell you, it’s respectable. But that’s where the respect ends. You disrespect me. You disrespected Dave LaGreca. You disrespected our radio show, Busted Open. You disrespected every freaking wrestling fan you can to see. I don’t deal well with disrespect, and I got one question for you, Ridge, do you know who I am? I’m one half of the greatest mother trucking tag teams that’s ever walked on gods green earth. I have held more championships than you’ve had championship opportunities. And as far as you getting a shot at the NXT Championship, and whether you deserve it, debatable. As far as you’re concerned, you deserve absolutely nothing. The NXT Universe is going to have to see a hell of a lot more from you, Ridge, if you ever to get a chance and a shot at the NXT Championship.
Ridge Holland: Bubba, nobody cares what you think anymore. You’re not even an active competitor. You’re a radio host, and a popular one, I’ll give you that. But all you do is sit behind that microphone, you don’t live in Dudleyville anymore, you’re a nostalgia act. So, why don’t you go watch some old ECW, revel in your prime, because it wasn’t extreme, it was overrated. So, what I need you to do, is go back to your little studio, and complain about what’s wrong with the current generation of superstars. Because if you don’t, Dave LaGreca will have to look for a new co-host, because you will be in the hospital.
Bubba punches Ridge. Ethan Page attacks Bubba from behind. Ethan and Ridge gangs up on Bubba. Trick Williams storms into the ring to make the save. Trick and Bubba clears the ring.
Bubba Ray Dudley: Trick, you still want a tag team partner for next Wednesday? Ethan, Ridge, next Wednesday night, NXT live from the ECW Arena, the two of you versus Trick Williams and Bubba Ray Dudley. Whoop That Trick!
