Ridge Holland (Luke Menzies) Announces He’s Cleared To Return To Wrestling Activities
Luke Menzies (Ridge Holland in WWE) is cleared to return to the ring.
Menzies posted the note given to him by his doctor stating that he could resume in-ring activities.
I am writing regarding my patient, a 37-year-old professional wrestler who underwent a C5-7 cervical disc replacement (CDR) performed by Dr. Qureshi at Hospital for Special Surgery on November 24, 2025.
He has progressed very well post-operatively, with an excellent clinical recovery. His follow-up imaging demonstrates appropriate positioning and function of the implants without complication. At this time, he has returned to his baseline level of function and physical capacity.
Given his recovery, he is medically cleared to return to professional wrestling activities as well as contact sports.
PATIENT IS ABLE TO RETURN TO FULL CONTACT ACTIVITY WITH NO RESTRICTIONS IN REGARDS TO HIS LEFT FOOT.
Here we go Mr Menzies🙌🔥 #return #cleared #prowrestling #prowrestler #bionicyorkshireman #lukemenzies pic.twitter.com/HEZLR6rlfY

In November, Holland announced he would be undergoing neck surgery.
He was sidelined with a Lisfranc injury suffered at TNA iMPACT! tapings in September. His contract with WWE was terminated due to breach in early November after he was informed that his deal would not be renewed when it expired in mid-November.
Ridge Holland previously stated that WWE was paying for his neck surgery despite no longer being under contract.
