In March 2022, Ridge Holland and Sheamus had a tag team match on Friday Night SmackDown heading into WrestleMania 38 against Big E and Kofi Kingston. During the bout, Holland performed a belly-to-belly suplex on E outside the ring, which unfortunately led to The Powerhouse of The New Day to break his neck on the landing.

Since the incident, fans have often called out Holland and given him a variety of threats for costing the 39-year-old star his in-ring career. It's been over three years since the horrific incident, and some fans are still going at Ridge Holland whenever they feel like it.

Recently, the former WWE NXT Tag Team Champion revealed a disturbing message from a fan, who was still blaming him for Big E's injury. The fan further questioned how the 37-year-old is still employed by the company and hopes he never wins a world championship in the promotion. Holland simply responded with, "Another day, another brave soul."

When did Ridge Holland win a championship in WWE?

After a run with The Brawling Brutes on Friday Night SmackDown, Ridge Holland was moved to the developmental brand under Shawn Michaels' creative leadership. The 37-year-old WWE star worked as a singles performer for a while before an injury angle with Ilja Dragunov was done during a title match.

Later, he entered into a storyline with Chase U as he wanted to change as a performer. The 37-year-old WWE star eventually joined Chase U and earned a shot against Fraxiom in the coming weeks. Holland, alongside Andre Chase, won the NXT Tag Team Championship in August 2024.

After losing the titles back to the former champions, Holland turned on Chase and started a feud with Chase U. In the end, Ridge Holland disbanded the popular faction when he won an Ambulance match against Andre Chase at NXT Halloween Havoc 2024.
