As previously reported, former WWE star Ridge Holland (Luke Menzies) was expected to undergo neck fusion surgery. Holland recently provided an update on the procedure through his Twitter (X) account.
He expressed gratitude to his doctor and the medical staff at the hospital for their care. Following the surgery, it was noted that Holland is expected to be sidelined from in-ring action until May 2026.
This update comes after Holland had previously posted on his Twitter (X) account, expressing feelings of abandonment by WWE after choosing not to renew his contract while he was recovering from an injury. Holland sustained a foot injury while working a TNA TV taping earlier in September. WWE terminated his contract earlier this month after he reportedly violated a rule prohibiting talents from disparaging the company.
After this incident, a family member of Holland created a GoFundMe campaign on his behalf, which garnered donations from talents in both AEW and WWE. However, Holland later revealed that he was unaware of the campaign and decided to shut it down, apologizing to fans and stating that he intends to donate the proceeds to charity. He also confirmed that WWE will cover the costs of his neck fusion surgery, as well as his medical and rehabilitation expenses.
