Ridge Holland Comments on His Belief “Certain Members In The Hierarchy” At WWE Held Big E’s Injury Against Him

A recent virtual fan signing event for K&S WrestleFest featured former WWE talent Ridge Holland, real name Luke Menzies, as the guest. One of the topics discussed included Holland’s thoughts about his belief that certain WWE high level officials held Big E’s neck injury against him and made it difficult for him to progress in his career in the company.

“I felt it a little bit. I felt it did affect my career from going forward. I never really got started. I think it probably was a black cloud that was hanging over me, from certain members in the hierarchy. Not mentioning any names but, I think it kind of put a black mark on me going forward and it made it very difficult for me to get past that in the eyes of some people in the company.”
