Ridge Holland Interview 

Sarah Schreiber: Ridge, thanks for joining me. You mentioned that this turn in NXT is all about Ridge’s redemption. Now, there’s been a lot that’s been said, and made about your actions since arriving to NXT. In your return, you said that you are no stranger to mishaps in the ring. What could you tell us about your journey to today?

Ridge Holland: Yeah, you know, Sarah, you’re spot on, you hit the nail on the head. It’s true, I am no stranger to injuries, mishaps, and accidents in the ring. Just as my career was starting to take an upward trajectory, an upper climb, that first rung of the ladder, I remember that we were building to WarGames in 2020. I was going to be on the same team as Pat McAfee, then tragedy struck, and I blew both my knees out. A fractured and dislocated left ankle. I ruptured my kneecap on my right leg. In that moment, I thought it was all over. I remember laying on the ramp, just looking up at the lights, thinking if this was how it’s going to end. How can I go home and tell my wife, who was pregnant at the time, that I dragged you away from your family, from your home, to try out this new life in the states. How could I tell her that it’s over and that we have to go back. This is how I feed my family. This is how I pay the bills. How I keep a roof over their heads.

Sarah Schreiber: But you did recover. You come back and you form, The Brawling Brutes with you, Butch, and Sheamus. How exciting on SmackDown?

Ridge Holland: It’s kind of bittersweet because, although I appreciate the opportunity with Sheamus and Butch, I get flashbacks to our first PLE. Day One, two days ago, yesterday, where I got my nose smashed. The injury bug strikes again. I go home and get surgery.

Sarah Schreiber: But you pick yourself back up.

Ridge Holland: You have to when you have all the people relying on you.

Sarah Schreiber: Then a few weeks ago, you arrive back to NXT. And you got the opportunity to show how you stack up against the NXT Champion, Ilja Dragunov. Yes, there was an abrupt ending, and there were questions. But the biggest question is, who is the real Ridge Holland, you want NXT to know?

Ridge Holland: Look, I respect Ilja, immensely. And every word that came out of my mouth, two weeks ago, I meant it. And when that bell ranged later that night, whatever happened, happened. There was no malicious intent. There was no ill will. At the end of the day, I’m a dad, I’m a husband, I’m a friend. I’m not a monster who goes out there, and endlessly tries to hurt people and take away someone’s career, because I know what that feels like. I know how fast things can get taken away, it goes, just like that. I don’t have that in me to do that to someone else. It’s not in my DNA. But the point still stands, I came to NXT to show everybody who Ridge Holland really is. I will go through every member of that roster, man by man, to prove myself, to find redemption. And to show the NXT Universe who Ridge Holland truly is, with no perceptions.
