"F**k you," "All your fault" - Former WWE champion reveals disturbing DM

WWE fans often tend to cross a line or two by sending DMs to superstars across social media. Recently, former NXT Tag Team Champion Ridge Holland revealed a disturbing message he received on Instagram, in which a fan blatantly abused him, stating that he ruined Big E's career.

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 breaking his neck on the landing.

Since the incident, fans have called out Holland and given him a variety of threats, stating that he cost 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 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 by posting a screengrab of the DM with the caption, "Another day, another brave soul."

"Ay I probably know u heard this a thousand times, but f**k you for breaking Big E's neck. It still boggles me that you're still employed anywhere. You deserve to rot n break your neck. On God, I hope the worst for you," a fan's message to Riddge Holland.

He further said:

"It was all your fault, you dumb f**k. No matter what they told you, you will never live up to what Big E was. You will never be a WWE Champ."

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 the faction 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 title 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.

Later, he had a few matches in the main event scene for the NXT Championship but didn't win the title. Recently, he was moved to Evolve.
