Williams\' path to Deadline was fraught with challenges. On the Tuesday before the event, Ridge Holland attacked Williams during a face-to-face segment, leaving the champion\'s status for the title defense in question.
However, Williams checked out of the hospital and made his way to Minneapolis, vowing to compete for Chase U, NXT, and his fans.
