Wrestling Stars Support Ridge Holland Amid WWE Exit and Controversy

Multiple WWE and AEW wrestlers have donated to Ridge Holland's GoFundMe campaign as he faces financial difficulties following his early release from WWE. Holland, who was set to leave WWE on November 14, was terminated early due to social media posts criticizing the company, which WWE cited as a violation of their policy and a breach of his non-disclosure agreement. Holland, injured with a Lisfranc foot injury and potentially facing neck fusion surgery, has expressed regret over his actions, especially regarding the injury he caused to Big E on March 11, 2022, which resulted in Big E suffering a broken neck and ending his in-ring career. Holland stated he thinks about Big E’s injury every day and appreciates Big E’s forgiveness and positivity. Despite WWE paying for his medical costs, Holland has been vocal about his inability to pay his mortgage, prompting a GoFundMe that has raised over $8,650 of a $60,000 goal, with donations from notable wrestling figures like Chelsea Green, Nick Jackson, and Kyle Fletcher. Holland's departure has sparked backlash, with him criticizing WWE for leaving him unable to support his family, and WWE's stance suggesting Holland should have anticipated his release and managed his finances accordingly. Holland was part of the Brawling Brutes faction and had been reassigned to NXT with a pay cut before his release. Meanwhile, Big E has transitioned into a WWE commentator and has spoken about his career possibly being over, while Holland continues to grapple with the emotional and financial fallout of his actions and injury.
