Summary

Ridge Holland says he does not regret the social media posts that helped bring his WWE run to an earlier end.

Holland said WWE had already decided not to renew his contract before the posts went out, and he said the comments only accelerated a departure that was already coming. In a recent interview, he said he accepts responsibility for that outcome even though he still stands by speaking honestly in the moment.

Quote from Ridge Holland

"The contract was going to not be renewed anyway. So, either way, I wasn’t going to be working for the company. The comments that I made on Twitter definitely sped up that process and caused them to terminate my contract two weeks early. So, I own that. I don’t regret what I said, but I own the fact that what I said caused that. I was just speaking how I felt and [unintelligible words]. So, there’s no regret."

What Ridge Holland said about the WWE fallout

Holland framed the situation as one where the decision on his future had already been made before he posted online. His latest comments are notable because they put the focus less on regret and more on accountability.

That also adds another layer to Holland's recent public comments after he said he still plans to return GoFundMe money tied to the difficult period that followed his exit.

What this means for Ridge Holland after WWE

Ridge Holland's comments make it clear that there is still frustration around how his WWE departure unfolded, and that likely keeps this chapter of his career tied closely to the circumstances of his release. For fans, the bigger takeaway is that Holland is continuing to speak openly about the end of his run instead of walking back the emotions that led to it.
