Ridge Holland Schedules Foot and Neck Evaluations as WWE Contract Nears Expiration
An evaluation in Birmingham next week will clarify his recovery plan, including whether a neck procedure is required.
Overview
- Holland said he will travel to Birmingham next Tuesday to have his cast removed and undergo X‑rays to assess if he can begin partial weight bearing after his October 3 Lisfranc surgery.
- He disclosed a pre‑existing neck issue with nerve impingement causing arm pain and will consult a specialist to determine whether treatment involves injections or surgery.
- WWE has informed him it will not renew his deal, which ends November 14, and while the company will cover rehabilitation, his guaranteed pay will stop when the contract expires.
- The Lisfranc injury occurred in September during a TNA/NXT taping against Moose, and he indicated the foot alone could require at least six months before a potential return.
- To support his family during recovery, Holland said he plans to launch an online coaching business.
