Released WWE star shares health update following surgery

A popular performer who was let go by the WWE earlier this month recently had surgery. The star provided an update on his health in a recent social media post.

At first, it was announced that Ridge Holland's contract with WWE would not be extended. But soon after he went off on social media, the 37-year-old was instantly let go. The former NXT Tag Team Champion recently revealed that he has undergone surgery.

Earlier today, Ridge Holland took to Instagram to share more details. The English star noted that he had nerve impingement due to two collapsed discs in his neck. The day before, Holland wrote, he had disc replacement surgery, which "was deemed to be very successful."

"After experiencing pain and lack of mobility due to pain in my neck, I consulted with doctors and had tests taken that determined that I had two collapsed discs in my neck, resulting in nerve impingement. Yesterday I underwent disc replacement surgery at the Hospital for Special Surgery in Manhattan with Dr. Sheeraz Qureshi. The surgery was deemed to be very successful. 🙏🏻🙌🏻💪🏻 And I got a room with a view! #Surgery #discreplacement #recovery," Holland wrote.

Former WWE Superstar Ridge Holland shared details about another injury he sustained earlier this year

On September 27, 2025, Ridge Holland also sustained a leg injury during a dark match. He was competing against Moose at a TNA Wrestling show.

In a video he posted on his YouTube channel, the former member of the Brawling Brutes opened up about the unfortunate Lisfranc injury. He explained how things went wrong while he was attempting a pop-up powerbomb.

"What happened was I was going for a pop-up powerbomb on Moose. He jumped so high I thought I was gonna lose him. So I stepped forward, and he came down. I stepped back, my foot twisted, and that was the injury. I recovered for about a week. The first day, that was when I got the call they weren't renewing my contract," Holland stated.

It will be interesting to see when Ridge Holland gets back into action. Only time will tell if he ever returns to WWE.
