Ridge Holland Removed From The Active Section Of The Official Public Roster Page

Ridge Holland (real name Luke Menzies) is stepping away from in-ring competition for an indefinite period.

He is most recognized for his time alongside Sheamus and Butch (formerly Pete Dunne) as part of the Brawling Brutes stable on SmackDown from 2021 to 2023. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...
