Former WWE star Ridge Holland, whose real name is Luke Menzies, has received a major update on his career. He is officially cleared to return to the ring.
Menzies spent several years in WWE before his release in 2025. His exit came after he publicly criticized the company. He said he felt hung out to dry following an injury. That made headlines at the time.
After leaving WWE, he competed in TNA in September 2025. During a match with Moose, he suffered a serious foot injury. It was later confirmed as a Lisfranc injury. Around the same time, doctors also found issues with his neck. That led to neck fusion surgery keeping him out of action for months.

Now, things have changed, former WWE star Ridge Holland recently shared a medical update on X, formerly known as Twitter. He posted a letter from his doctor confirming he is cleared. The letter came from Dr. Norman Waldrop III. It confirmed he can return to in-ring competition.
The update also mentioned his recovery progress. It stated he has made excellent improvement. It also confirmed that his implants are working without any issues. He wrote, “Here we go Mr Menzies?? #return #cleared #prowrestling #prowrestler #bionicyorkshireman #lukemenzies”
During his WWE run, he spent seven years with the company. He even won the NXT Tag Team Championship with Andre Chase in 2025. But his career also had difficult moments. One of the most notable incidents came in 2022.
During a match, a move led to a serious neck injury for Big E. That moment affected both careers in different ways. Now, Menzies gets a fresh start. He is healthy again. And ready to compete.
