A current WWE champion was attacked backstage with a weapon. He could've possibly suffered an injury.
Ricky Saints and Trick Williams have been feuding with each other for the past few weeks. The former AEW star even offered Williams a shot at his NXT Championship at Halloween Havoc. However, Trick was unsuccessful in winning the title. Therefore, last week on the black and silver brand, Trick threw a fit and tried to hold the show hostage until he got a rematch. This resulted in an all out brawl between the two men. As a result, a Last Man Standing match was booked for next week's show.
Tonight on WWE NXT, Ricky Saints and Trick Williams were involved in a backstage interview segment. Trick said that Ricky is still banged up from their match at Halloween Havoc. Ricky reminded Trick that he granted him a title shot, but instead of accepting defeat like a man, he tried to hold the show hostage. Ricky also claimed that Trick wants to use the NXT Championship like a security blanket, while this title is a representation of his hard work. Trick then made things personal when he asked Ricky to go to WWEShop.com if he wanted a title since the real NXT Title belongs to him. Ricky said he was done talking and went to meet Trick Williams in the hallway. Both men brawled for a bit before the former TNA World Champion laid out the NXT Champion with a steel pipe. One of the security personnel checked on Ricky and asked another one to "get a medic."
