As noted before, last week’s TNA Impact! show featured WWE NXT talent Ridge Holland making a surprise appearance and attacked Mike Santana.
TNA released a digital exclusive backstage video featuring Holland. One of the topics discussed included Holland’s thoughts about his recent attack on Santana and issued a challenge to him for a match at Victory Road 2025, which takes place on September 26th at Edmonton Expo Centre in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
“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.”
