Ridge Holland returned to WWE NXT live events with a new look and gimmick.
Holland last appeared on the May 6 episode of WWE NXT. He took part in a Number One Contender Battle Royal, which was won by Myles Borne. Since then, Holland has only wrestled twice at NXT live events and has remained absent from TV.
He first faced Noam Dar for the WWE NXT Heritage Cup Title on May 17. Then, he recently battled Tate Wilder at the University Area CDC Gymnasium in Tampa over the weekend. This is where he showed off a new look and gimmick.
Ridge Holland debuted his new look on the July 19 WWE NXT live event in Tampa. Holland introduced his new character, calling himself “The Steam Pig.” He wore new ring gear, a headband, and even had a custom logo, showing a big change from his old character.
Ridge Holland also took to X, formerly known as Twitter to share photos of his new look and gimmick from the match.
