Ridge Holland was on his way to getting a big spotlight in NXT. He was set to feud with Adam Cole, and then he suffered a terrible injury on live television. His leg snapped, and it was so gruesome that the injury got press in places where pro wrestling doesn’t usually capture headlines.

Holland suffered a dislocated knee, but that was put back into place at ringside. The left angle dislocation and fracture was another story. He also suffered a left a patellar tendon rupture.

While speaking to Talk Sport, Ridge Holland seemed to be in good spirits after such a cataclysmic leg injury. He joked about getting a buy one get one free deal, and he praised WWE’s medical staff. Now he’s back on the road to recovery.

“Pretty freak incident. On my left leg I fractured and dislocated my ankle and then on my right leg, I dislocated the kneecap and ruptured my patella tendons. Kind of a buy one get one free on injuries! But, it’s coming on well. The WWE medical staff are top notch and they’ve got me well on the road to recovery.”
