Ridge Holland suffered a broken nose during his Kickoff show match at WWE’s Day 1 PPV tonight.
Early in the Holland & Sheamus vs. Ricochet & Cesaro match, Ricochet attempted an assisted standing 450, but didn’t rotate all the way and his boot hit Holland in the face on the landing.

Holland tagged Sheamus in and went to the outside to get checked out by medics, then left the match.
Sheamus continued for the rest of the match, making it essentially a handicap match, and eventually won with a Brogue Kick on Cesaro.
