Shawn Spears explains his actions.
Shawn Spears made a surprising return to NXT on February 27, striking Ridge Holland in the back with a chair.
As he exited the building, he was asked why he went after Holland.
"I like Ridge Holland, but he's been lying to himself for far too long. That jolt of pain that's currently coursing through his body, it's simply the truth. That's why I struck Ridge. The truth can bring you to your knees, and that's why Shawn Spears is now in NXT. See you next week at Roadblock," he said.
