Luke Menzies, the man formerly known as Ridge Holland in
WWE, wrote on social media that he underwent neck surgery.
Menzies was already on the sidelines after he suffered a
Lisfranc injury at the end of September during a match for
TNA while under WWE contract, and this neck surgery is
unrelated to that.
“After experiencing pain and lack of mobility due to pain in
my neck, I consulted with doctors and had tests taken that
determined that I had two collapsed discs in my neck
resulting in nerve impingement,” he wrote on Instagram.
“Yesterday I underwent disc replacement surgery at the
Hospital for Special Surgery in Manhattan with Dr Sheeraz
Qureshi. The surgery was deemed to be very successful.”
Menzies was released from his WWE contract a week before it
expired after he went on a rant on X explaining how WWE left
him “totally f*cked.”
WWE originally chose not to renew his contract after he
suffered the injury but his outburst on social media earned
him a quicker exit.
