Trick Williams found himself in a terrifying situation during his match at NXT Deadline this weekend. As he faced off against Ridge Holland for the NXT Championship, Trick's neck got caught in between the top and middle ropes, leaving WWE fans in shock and fear.
It all happened when Ridge dodged a charge from Trick, causing the champ to become tangled in the ropes. Despite using his hands to prevent the ropes from choking him, Trick was left hanging for what felt like a long time as the referee tried to free him.
While some viewers were unsure if it was part of the match, others were genuinely concerned for Trick's safety. Twitter user @SupahZ_ wrote, "Trick almost got decapitated and still won. Jesus Christ #NXTDeadline," while @sistertonin said, "Trick taking that rope spot on his neck just genuinely made me uncomfortable."
Many fans were relieved when Trick was able to break free and continue the match, ultimately picking up the win and retaining his NXT Championship. He will now go on to defend his title at NXT New Year's Evil on January 7 against former NXT North American Champion Oba Femi.
Femi made a surprise return at Deadline, replacing Eddy Thorpe in the Men's Iron Survivor Challenge. He dominated the match, picking up a double pin on Nathan Frazer and Wes Lee to secure the win and earn himself a shot at the NXT Championship.
Meanwhile, in the Women's Iron Survivor Challenge, Giulia's impressive rise in WWE continued as she outlasted Stephanie Vaquer, Sol Ruca, Zaria, and Wren Sinclair to pick up the win. She will now face NXT Women's Champion Roxanne Perez at New Year's Evil.
Other notable moments from the event included Lola Vice's victory over Jaida Parker in a heated rivalry, Nathan Frazier wrestling twice despite getting busted open midway through the show, and Axiom and Nathan Frazier successfully defending their NXT Tag Team Titles against No Quarter Catch Crew's Myles Borne and Tavion Heights.
It was certainly an eventful night for the NXT roster, with Trick Williams' terrifying moment on the ropes being the most talked-about moment. But in the end, he was able to overcome the scare and come out on top, proving why he is the NXT Champion.
