Ridge Holland Lisfranc Injury & WWE Contract Termination Update – WWE Moves Holland’s Profile to Alumni Section, GoFundMe Fundraiser Launched

As noted before, Ridge Holland, real name Luke Menzies, contract with WWE had been originally set to expire on November 14th due it not being renewed. WWE terminated Holland’s contract this past Wednesday following recent comments he made on social media about his grievances over WWE’s decision to let his contract expire while he was injured and his concerns over his financial situation for his family. Holland has been out of action since this past September due to a lisfranc injury he suffered at a TNA Impact! taping.

WWE confirmed that Holland is no longer under contract with the company following a recent update on their roster page moving his profile over to their Alumni section.

A GoFundme fundraiser was recently launched to help financially assist Holland and his family due to Holland not being able to work for the next several months due to his current injury situation and possibly even longer depending on how his recovery goes and him also potentially needing to undergo neck surgery.

Help a Father of 3 Heal Without Losing Everything

A hardworking husband. A devoted wife. Three beautiful children. And a devastating injury that threatens to take it all away.

We’re reaching out with heavy hearts on behalf of a dear family in crisis. A loving father of three suffered injuries whilst on the job — injuries that have not only left him unable to work but also abandoned by the very company he served.

Despite being injured at work, he was hired as a 1099 contractor — meaning he’s not eligible for workers’ compensation, sick leave, or any support from the employer. Since the injury, the company has offered to pay for medical expenses BUT No pay. No new contract

The family has already endured a 55 % pay cut last year and have done everything possible to reduce their expenses.

He is now facing months of recovery, including another surgery in March of next year, and potentially a neck surgery this month, leaving him unable to return to work until at least late April or early May — if recovery goes as hoped.

His wife, who is already stretched thin caring for him and their three young children, is doing her best, but without any nearby family or support system, it’s simply not enough. Every day is a struggle mentally and physically they would like to provide a sense of stability for their children — who are watching their world slowly unravel.

They’re doing everything they can. But it’s not enough.

They are at risk of losing their home. Of falling into debt they may never escape. Of having their kids face a holiday season filled with fear and uncertainty rather than joy.

This family needs a lifeline — and they need it now.

Your donation, no matter the size, will give them the time and space to heal, regroup, and rebuild without losing everything they’ve worked so hard for.

Please give what you can — and share this campaign with your community.

Every share, every prayer, and every dollar means the world to this family. Together, we can help them make it through this unimaginable season and into a more hopeful future.

This fundraiser has been created to help this beautiful family through the months ahead — to keep a roof over their heads, food on the table, pay the bills, cover travel to hospital appointments, and give him chance to focus on healing without the constant fear of financial collapse.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
