WWE superstar Ridge Holland recently hit back after receiving abuse and death threats after a horror accident that led to Big E breaking his neck. Big E had endured a career-threatening neck injury last year. The former WWE Champion was involved in a tag team match alongside Kofi Kingston against Sheamus and Ridge Holland. There was a spot during the match where Holland tossed Big E at ringside with a belly-to-belly suplex, but he dropped him on his head causing the awful injury.
Ridge tweeted: ”Death threats. Threats to my family. Lobbying for me to lose my job. Being labeled as racist. Great stuff 👍🏻 keep ‘em coming.’”
Now, The New Day member Xavier Woods has come to the aid of Ridge Holland as he wrote:
“Pro Wrestling is extremely dangerous. All of us involved understand that. Ridge & his family do not deserve to be treated this way. Please do not send any hate towards them. Instead use your energy to do something positive like sending love to E. Be kind. Please be kind.”
Over the weekend, Big E told TMZ he’s ‘good with whatever’ the future holds, whether he is able to return to the ring or not.
Despite the possibility his in-ring career could be officially brought to an end by the results of the tests, the former world champion insisted he isn’t feeling anxious about what’s to come.
He added: “No anxiety at all. Everything isn’t permanent. If it comes to an end, cool, if it doesn’t, cool. What will be, will be. I’m good with whatever.”
Pro Wrestling is extremely dangerous. All of us involved understand that. Ridge & his family do not deserve to be treated this way. Please do not send any hate towards them. Instead use your energy to do something positive like sending love to E. Be kind. Please be kind. https://t.co/3iPM30qBtk
