Ridge Holland Says He Can’t Pay His Mortgage After WWE Cut Him Off During Injury

Ridge Holland is speaking out—and what he’s revealing is absolutely heartbreaking.

The injured WWE Superstar took to Twitter to expose just how dire things have gotten after WWE opted not to renew his contract, leaving him unpaid while recovering from a serious injury. Holland revealed that he’s been sidelined for seven months, unable to work, and now facing the terrifying possibility of losing his home.

“I never thought I’d not be able to pay my mortgage. I feel like I’ve just been hung out to dry after getting injured working for another company on behalf of WWE. Add to that my contract not being renewed knowing that I wouldn’t be able to wrestle for seven months — this is brutal.”

While WWE is covering his surgery and physical therapy, Holland made it clear that medical care alone doesn’t cover the cost of life—especially when you’re sidelined and still healing from what could be a career-altering neck injury.

“Yes, they are taking care of the surgery and physical therapy, but let’s be honest — that’s the bare minimum after what we sacrifice for the company. Plus, there’s the possibility of having to get my neck fused too. Talk about getting totally f****.”*

The timing couldn’t be worse. Holland’s contract expires this month, and WWE’s decision not to pay him during recovery has sparked a wave of outrage online from fans and fellow wrestlers alike. Injuries in wrestling aren’t rare—but what happens after can expose just how vulnerable these athletes are when the spotlight fades.

For Ridge, this isn’t just about a career—it’s about survival.
