The final participants in the NXT Championship ladder match
were revealed last night on NXT on The CW.
Originally a six-man ladder match, it’s now a seven-man
ladder match after Joe Hendry was initially thought to be
taken out of the match.
Hendry was laid out at the beginning of the show with
Jackson Drake shown with a steel chair, suggesting he did
the attack. But NXT GM Ava couldn’t prove it, and against
all logic, put Drake in the match instead.
The two qualifying matches saw Dion Lennox defeating Myles
Borne and Keanu Carver defeating Andre Chase to book their
own spots in the match.
But the closing angle of the show saw all six participants
brawling and Ricky Saints grabbing a ladder to go snatch the
title. That’s when Joe Hendry was revived, coming out and
wiping Saints out with the Standing Ovation, adding himself
to the match as well.
