It was just a match for Ridge as he had to win it to become the number one contender for Trick. But it was a huge match for Andre Chase as the future of the entire family lied on his performance. Despite giving his best, Chase could not save his family.
Mixed opinions on ending the Chase University
Holland was the better of the two wrestlers on the given night. He overcame every obstacle on his way to mark the end of an era. Ridge indirectly took on all the members of the faction at the same time. Yet, he emerged victorious by claiming a win via pinfall.
Andre and the rest of the members of the faction sat in disbelief as they could not digest the fact that the family had no future. The fans loudly booed Holland as he became responsible for the end of the faction. It was an emotional moment for everyone in the arena. On social media, many expressed their disappointment in ending the faction which they felt was totally unnecessary.
There were others who were fine with the decision. Many questioned the booking of Shawn Michaels. Fans in the arena sang Goodbye to the faction. Many felt it might be a good decision as each individual has made a name for themselves, meaning the purpose of the faction is complete.
