Ridge Holland Reveals Survivor Series 2022 WarGames Match Was Put Together 20 Minutes Before Show

Ridge Holland discusses the Survivor Series 2022 WarGames match.

At Survivor Series 2022, The Bloodline (Roman Reigns, The Usos, Solo Sikoa, & Sami Zayn) faced The Brawling Brutes (Sheamus, Ridge Holland & Butch), Drew McIntyre, and Kevin Owens in a WarGames match.

During a recent interview with Sportshadow Wrestling, Ridge Holland was asked about the spots planned for this match.

“Well, it’s funny because we didn’t have that match put together… I think we only had that match figured out 20 minutes before we were due to go out and do the match. So it was kind of a rush to get everything put together. So I can’t even remember off the top of my head what was planned, what was supposed to go where. We just kind of made it work. There was enough people in that match with enough experience that were talented enough that we just made it work. The main thing was making sure that the biggest thing [happened] when Roman came in. The things in between we managed to fill and make work.”

There was a moment where all members of The Bloodline were put through the Beats of Bodhran by the opposing team. Holland was asked who came up with this spot.

“I’m not sure. I think it might have been Pete Dunne [who] might have come up with that idea. Because he’s always been the one, especially in matches, that he’s got such a fantastic brain for professional wrestling. If there’s anything that needs figuring out or something, a little bit of magic that needs sprinkling, he’s the man that generally waves that magic wand and then gets it put in. So yeah, I think obviously, there’s a big Sheamus influence there. It’s Sheamus’ move, so we wouldn’t have even thought about it if he didn’t start doing that and get so much mileage out of it. But yeah, I think it was Pete, and then we got a bit of input from Sheamus too. But it worked, the crowd came, it was fantastic.”

Holland recently revealed that he’s medically cleared for wrestling activities. Fans can read more about it here.
