Ridge Holland Confirms His Frustration Tweet Got Him Fired From WWE Sooner

Ridge Holland just admitted that one angry tweet might’ve cost him big—and he’s not hiding from it. The former WWE star opened up in a new video about how venting on social media accelerated his release while he was still injured and out of action.

After suffering a serious injury while working for TNA on WWE’s behalf, Ridge was already facing an uphill battle. But what pushed things over the edge was one frustrated post that he now regrets hitting send on. In the video, Ridge comes clean about the moment he lost control.

“What I do want to hold my hands up for is that last tweet that forced the situation to get worse—that was pure frustration. And I’m mad at myself for doing that because it’s kind of out of character for me. I don’t react that way.”

He explained why emotions boiled over after realizing his WWE career was coming to an end, even though he felt like he never truly got to shine.

“But I think knowing that my career with WWE was coming to an end and I never really got to show my true potential—whether that’s my fault or situational regarding injuries or things that happened, whatever—I felt kind of a little bit wronged. I don’t know who by, just the whole situation.”

Ridge didn’t just vent—he also took full responsibility for letting his emotions get the best of him.

“So I hold my hands up—and if I had the time again, I wouldn’t have posted that tweet. But I needed an outlet. I needed to vent.”

That tweet—which said he felt “hung out to dry” while recovering—ended up costing him more than he expected. WWE, according to reports, made the decision to cut him early after reading it. It’s a raw and real moment that shows just how fast things can spiral in pro wrestling when you let your feelings hit the timeline first.
