WWE star Ridge Holland announced on Instagram today that he’s been informed by a WWE official that the corporate is not going to be renewing his contract, and it’s set to return to an end on November 14. Holland, who’s currently injured, stated that WWE assured him it’s going to proceed to cover the prices of his rehab, but Holland made it clear that he’ll now not receive a guaranteed paycheck as he recovers from the injury.
“My profession with WWE has been blighted by misfortune but I’m still thankful and grateful for the chance and experience,” Holland wrote. “The shining light that has all the time kept me going is the HUGE support from a handful of special human beings. Thanks.”
Holland, a former pro rugby player, signed with WWE in 2018, just a short while into his wrestling profession. He frolicked in NXT, NXT UK, and on “WWE SmackDown” as a member of the Brawling Brutes. Together with coping with several injuries of his own throughout his time with WWE, Holland drew attention for being within the ring with Big E when the previous WWE Champion broke his neck, quite possibly resulting in his everlasting in-ring retirement.
Just last month, Holland was injured while wrestling Moose at a TNA taping, with the wrestler needing to be helped to the back. His last WWE match took place at an NXT live event on September 12, when Holland defeated Dante Chen. In his social media post, Holland admitted that he is not sure if he’ll return to pro wrestling in the long run, but he did indicate that he’ll soon be initiating his own online coaching business.
