Highly touted prospect Ridge Holland made his return to WWE NXT TV on Tuesday’s episode.
It happened when Pete Dunne and Oney Lorcan defeated Timothy Thatcher and Tommaso Ciampa as Holland caused a distraction. The heels beat down Thatcher and Ciampa after the match.
Holland was put on the sidelines after suffering injuries on an episode of NXT last October during a match against Oney Lorcan.
He suffered a left ankle dislocation and fracture, a patellar dislocation, and a ruptured patellar tendon. Holland underwent surgery to get this done. At the time, many people believed that he would be out for quite some time as the patellar tendon rupture alone can take anywhere from 6-12 months to heal. Thus, many people thought he would be out for a year, but that wasn’t the case.
In June, it was reported that the NXT star had been seen daily at the WWE Performance Center to continue to rehab his leg and working towards getting cleared to return to the ring.
Next week, Holland will be in singles action against Ikemen Jiro.
