The injury angle refers to the time Ridge Holland injured Big E, which the "NXT" star once again recreated in his match with "NXT" Champion Ilja Dragunov, after which the champ was stretchered out. Tommy Dreamer, who was also on the "Busted Open" show, praised Holland's promo, as well as small things WWE did to make it look legitimate.

"Kudos to WWE for immediately moving him to the Alumni section on their website," began Dreamer. "The other part that Bully talked about is perception, but it's also perception from the company. If you're the guy that goes out there and hurts a lot of people, even if it isn't your fault, then that becomes your perception."

Dreamer praised Holland, stating that he saw potential in him to become someone like Brock Lesnar — a big wrestler who could move swiftly in the ring. The veteran star suggested a few ideas for Holland if he returns to WWE in the future.

"You could go a lot of different places with this as well. He could come back as a bigger babyface or he could come back with a vengeance and start being somebody who purposely goes out there and hurts people and has this moniker of a guy who [says], 'You blame me for things that weren't my fault, now I'm going to hurt the fan favorites that you guys like,'" said Dreamer.

He added the promo got him more invested in the Ridge Holland character than at any time in the past. Dreamer feels the promo showed Holland in a different light, which he feels "NXT" has done a good job in the past with other wrestlers.
