On The Shelf: SmackDown Star Out Of Action With Knee Injury

It can happen to anyone. An injury can put any wrestler on the shelf at any time and there is not much that can be done about it. The worst part is you never know when something is going to happen or how long the wrestler is going to be out as a result. The waiting game is terrible and now that is what we are going through again as a WWE is missing time due to an injury.

This week on SmackDown, it was announced that Ridge Holland suffered a knee injury last week and was out of action. There is no word on what kind of an injury Holland suffered or how long he will be gone. Holland wrestled in a six man tag as part of the Brawling Brutes on last week’s show, losing to the team of New Day and Drew McIntyre in a street fight in the show’s opening match.

Opinion: Unfortunately this is the kind of thing that can happen to a wrestler and you don’t know just how bad it is. A knee can be one of the nastier injuries as well as it isn’t something that often heals that fast. Hopefully things are on the better side with Holland, who cannot manage to stay healthy for whatever reason. You can only get so good when you can’t stay in the ring and that seems to be what is happening here.

What do you think of Holland? What should he do when he returns to the ring? Let us know in the comments below.
