Overview
- Fightful Select confirmed with WWE that Luke Menzies, known as Ridge Holland, was released before his Nov. 14 contract end date after posts the company viewed as a breach.
- WWE shifted Menzies to its online Alumni section on Nov. 5 following the early termination.
- Menzies says he suffered a Lisfranc foot injury at a TNA taping and may need neck fusion surgery, leaving him unable to wrestle until at least April or May 2026.
- He stated WWE is paying for surgery and physical therapy, though his guaranteed pay ended with the non‑renewal and early release.
- After saying he regretted the tweet that worsened the situation, he launched a YouTube channel, a GoFundMe topped $8,650 with $1,000 donations from Chelsea Green and Nick Jackson, and he is taking media and signing appearances.
