Ridge Holland sustained an injury during a taping of TNA Impact Wrestling in Edmonton, Alberta, on September 26, 2024. The incident occurred during a match with Konosuke Takeshita, halting the bout adn requiring medical attention for the WWE NXT star.
Holland, wrestling for TNA as part of a talent exchange agreement with WWE, suffered what was described by witnesses as a shoulder injury. The extent of the injury is currently unknown, and no official statement has been released by either TNA or WWE as of September 27, 2024, at 11:00 AM Mountain Time. The injury throws Holland’s status for upcoming WWE NXT events and potential future appearances in TNA into question. The talent exchange program, initiated in early 2024, allows performers from both companies to gain exposure and experience on different platforms, but this incident raises concerns about potential risks to wrestlers participating in cross-promotional endeavors. Takeshita continued the match with another opponent following the stoppage.
