1) The Original Plans For Major NXT Storyline
Ridge Holland suffered a nasty leg injury on a recent episode of NXT. This forced him to get surgery and he will be out of action for the next several months. It turns out that prior to his injury, WWE had some big plans in place for Holland on NXT television.
According to Alex McCarthy of talkSPORT, Holland was originally supposed to be a member of Pat McAfee’s new faction.
The faction consists of McAfee, Oney Lorcan, Danny Burch, and Pete Dunne. Holland would have been in the spot of Dunne if he didn’t get hurt:
As Danny Burch alluded to on talkWRESTLING, Ridge Holland was the original plan for the stable with Pat McAfee before his terrible, terrible injury.
Pete Dunne was a late substitute.
My Take:
- Damn that sucks to hear for Holland. It sounds like WWE is very high on him and I am excited to see him get back healthy. Hopefully, he gets another chance to shine.
