He says that Chase University used him, and that he is sick and tired of his needs not being used in a group; therefore, he had to destroy Chase University. Ridge says he holds resentment towards Trick Williams and his rise to the NXT Championship as he has been haned everything while he tried to work his way to the top and got only a fraction of what Trick got. He says that he came from a sport ten times tougher than American football while Trick got everything handed to him. On the subject of injuring Trick, Trick struck first and he answered back.
