Ridge Holland is officially preparing for life after WWE—and he’s doing it under a new name. The former WWE Superstar took to social media to reveal that moving forward, he’ll be known by his real name: Luke Menzies.

His WWE contract is set to expire on November 14th, and once that date hits, he’ll be free to compete anywhere he chooses. In the meantime, he made it clear that he’s open for business via Twitter.

“Available for signings, appearances and media from Nov 14th. Booking inquiries: contact@lukemenzies.com #ridgeholland #lukemenzies #wwe #wwenxt #prowrestling #WWERaw #smackdown”

While Menzies is ready to hit the ground running, health issues could slow things down. Before news broke that WWE wouldn’t be renewing his contract, he reportedly suffered a serious foot injury during a TNA taping. On top of that, there’s also concern he may need neck surgery—a setback that could significantly impact his ability to wrestle in the near future.

Despite the rough timing, Menzies isn’t backing down. He’s looking ahead, taking bookings, and staying optimistic about what’s next. Whether or not he’s able to return to the ring right away, one thing is clear: he’s not walking away from the wrestling world.
