Ridge Holland Says He’s Cleared To Return To Ring

Luke Menzies, the former Ridge Holland, says that he is cleared to return to the ring following recovery from his injuries. Menzies has been out of action since suffering an injury at a TNA Impact taping in late September. Menzies, as Holland, was working the match via WWE. He posted to Twitter on Monday to share his doctor’s note clearing him to “return to professional wrestling activities.”

The note reads in full:

“I am writing regarding my patient, a 37-year-old professional wrestler who underwent a C5-7 cervical disc replacement (CDR) performed by Dr. Qureshi at Hospital for Special Surgery on November 24, 2025.

He has progressed very well post-operatively, with an excellent clinical recovery. His follow-up imaging demonstrates appropriate positioning and function of the implants without complication. At this time, he has returned to his baseline level of function and physical capacity.

Given his recovery, he is medically cleared to return to professional wrestling activities as well as contact sports.

PATIENT IS ABLE TO RETURN TO FULL CONTACT ACTIVITY WITH NO RESTRICTIONS IN REGARDS TO HIS LEFT FOOT.”

Menzies was released from his WWE contract in November. He had previously been informed that his deal would not be renewed, but when he took to Twitter to express frustration with his situation, the company decided to terminate his deal early.
