Ridge Holland, real name Luke Menzies, announced on his X account that WWE are not renewing his contract.
Holland is presently out after undergoing surgery on October 3 for a lisfranc foot injury. He suffered the injury during a match against Moose on September 27 at a TNA taping.
His contract is going to expire on November 14 and he will be out of action for another six months. Here is what Holland posted on his X account:
“I’ve been informed that WWE will not be renewing my contract when it ends on November 14th. WWE are still going to cover my rehab from injury but my guaranteed pay will end, quite frustrating to say the least as I cannot work for another 6 months due to the aforementioned injury, with a family of 5 to support.
“My career with WWE has been blighted by misfortune but I’m still thankful and grateful for the opportunity and experience. The shining light that has always kept me going is the HUGE support from a handful of special human beings. Thank you.
“I’m unsure what lies ahead of me in terms of wrestling but going forward I will be working hard to heal up and in that time I will be launching my own online coaching business…..so stay tuned.
“Cheers.”
