Injury Update: Former WWE star Ridge Holland aka Luke Menzies

Things have gone from bad to worse for former WWE star Ridge Holland, who now goes by his real name, Luke Menzies. Holland shared an update on his condition after getting released in early November.

The former member of The Brawling Brutes and Chase University went through a lot over the past two months or so. He suffered a Lisfranc injury during a match at TNA Wrestling while under contract with WWE in late September. He underwent surgery on his left foot before finding out that his contract wasn't getting renewed.

His contract was terminated early after he expressed his views on how the company has treated him on social media. To make things worse, Ridge Holland found out that he had to undergo neck fusion surgery.

In a post on Instagram, Holland gave an update on his condition just a few days after a successful neck fusion. He still remained thankful and is looking forward to his future, depending on how his recovery will be.

"The past couple months have been interesting to say the least. The future looks bright ( if I squint hard enough 😂) It’s crazy how the human body can be so delicate but so resilient at the same time. After each injury I’ve always learned something about myself, I think this may be the biggest lesson yet. Be seeing' ya," Holland wrote.

For those wondering, Ridge Holland did confirm that WWE paid for his neck fusion surgery. Holland made headlines after a GoFundMe was set up to help him and his family after getting released.

Ridge Holland grateful for his time with WWE

Despite his tweet about how WWE treated him amid his release, Ridge Holland shared on his first video on his YouTube channel that his time with the company was wonderful. There were a lot of positives and only a handful of negatives.

Holland admitted that his tweet disparaging WWE was out of frustration and would have never done it if given the choice. He needed an outlet to vent, but he did it the wrong way. Nevertheless, he was still grateful to the company that took a chance on him and signed him for seven years.
